PCM-3116 PC/104 PCMCIA/CompactFlash (ATA) to
IDE Module
The PCM-3116 is a PC/104 form-factor drive that allows computers
with an IDE controller to read and write both PCMCIA ATA Flash/
ATA hard disk cards and CompactFlash cards. The module converts
the 68-pin PCMCIA signal and the 50-pin CompactFlash signal to a
40-pin IDE signal. Your computer’s system BIOS will access the
PCMCIA and CompactFlash cards in the same manner as any other
IDE drive. Power is provided through a 4-pin compact power connec-
tor. The PCM-3116 does not require the installation of a device driver
and does not need to use the operating system’s card or socket ser-
vices.
In order to provide additional flexibility to industrial computer system
integrators, the PCM-3116 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-3116 is connected using the PC/104 connector, there is no need
to connect cables to the IDE or power connectors because power and
communication is transmitted through the PC/104 connector.
