Hi Leeyang,
Here you can read a lot about PC/104:
http://www.controlled.com/pc104faq
I have taken some text from that website:
----------------------------------------------
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.

We use PC/104 modules in our development of mobile robotics. We use modules
