PCM-3116CF PC/104 CompactFlash (ATA) to IDE Module
The PCM-3116CF is a PC/104 form factor drive that allows computers
with an IDE controller to read and write CompactFlash cards. The
module converts the 50-pin CompactFlash signal to a 40-pin IDE
signal. Your computer’s system BIOS will access the CompactFlash
card in the same manner as any other IDE drive. Power is provided
through a 4-pin compact power connector. The PCM-3116CF does not
require the installation of a device driver and does not need to use the
operating system’s card or socket services.
In order to provide additional flexibility to industrial computer system
integrators, the PCM-3116CF also provides a PC/104 connector. This
allows it to be connected to other PC/104 modules or connected to
single board computers that feature a PC/104 connector. If the
PCM-3116CF is connected using the PC/104 connector, there is no
need to connect cables to the IDE or power connectors because power
and data communication is transmitted through the PC/104 connector.
