PROMETHEUS-LC Low-Power PC/104 CPU Board with ZFx86 Processor
1. DESCRIPTION
Prometheus-LC is a PC/104 CPU board that offers low cost, low power consumption, and
extended temperature operation. It includes 4 serial ports and memory soldered onto the board.
DOS and application files can be stored directly in the 1MB on-board flash memory, eliminating
the need for a flashdisk module or hard disk drive. Prometheus-LC is an excellent choice for
DOS-based embedded applications where a low-cost, simple, single-board solution is required.
Prometheus-LC conforms to the PC/104 standard, an embedded computing standard that is
based on the ISA and PCI buses and provides a compact, rugged mechanical design for
embedded systems. PC/104 modules feature a pin and socket connection system in place of card
edge connectors, as well as mounting holes in each corner. The result is an extremely rugged
computer system fit for mobile and miniature applications. PC/104 modules stack together with
0.6” spacing between boards (0.662” pitch including the thickness of the PCB).
A mechanical drawing of a standard PC/104 board is shown on page 38. For more information on
