PC/104 Consortium

The PC/104 Consortium is a technology consortium^[1]^[2] that was established in February 1992 by 12 companies, all sharing a vision of adapting desktop computer technology for embedded applications. Based on the technologies of a IBM PC-based single-board computer developed by American company Ampro in 1987,^[3] the PC/104 Consortium has since had a positive effect on the embedded computer marketplace and now includes over 50 member companies.^[4] The PC/104 Consortium's technological philosophy is to support legacy technology while developing new solutions for the future. Longevity is a requirement for embedded systems and one of the hallmarks of PC/104 technology.
