I'm not going to be able to answer your question directly,
but I was having trouble finding this board of which
you speak. I tried looking at http://www.adtron.com,
but they don't mention biscuit PCs on their
website. http://www.adtron.co.uk doesn't seem to exist
(unless my DNS just timed out too soon). A Google search on
"PC4823" didn't help, either. I did find, at Advantech,
something that looked like maybe it might be similar to
what you are using?
