No, it isn't. It's a "embedded" bus similar to ISA.

> PC/104 is a standard for PC-compatible modules (circuit boards) that can be
> stacked together to create an embedded computer system. These types of
> systems are often found in factories, laboratories, and machinery to provide
> programmable control of a complex system.
>
> PC/104 systems are very similar to standard desktop PCs but with a different
> form factor. The name "PC/104" is derived from this likeness and the special
> stackable bus connector having 104 pins. These systems can be programmed
> with the same development tools used with full-size PCs which reduces the
> need and cost of custom development efforts. Although only about 4" x 4",
> PC/104 boards are very powerful for their size. PC/104 products are designed
> for minimal power consumption, small foot print, modularity, expandability,
> and ruggedness - basic needs of the embedded systems designer.
>
> Almost any type of module you can think of is now available for the PC/104
> bus including CPUs, video controllers, network interfaces, sound I/O, data
> acquisition boards, and specialized interfaces. More than 200 vendors
> world-wide supply hardware, software, and engineering services to support
> the growing PC/104 standard.
