4. Hardware Configuration
The 512 is installed on a PC/104 stack. Four mounting holes are provided, one in each corner, for
mechanical stability. The bus connectors are the large ones as seen on the bottom of figure 1.
The base address of the 512 must be selected using the base address selection jumper, as seen in the
lower left hand corner of figure 1. Address selection will be discussed in a following section.
Video and digital I/O are present on three connectors. The header, J1, has all I/O signals, including S-
Video, composite video and digital. J27, J28 are for composite video only.
