ACC-HDDMOUNT
PC/104 Hard Drive Mounting Board
ACC-HDDMOUNT provides a convenient way to mount a 2.5" notebook hard drive directly onto a PC/104 stack in either the top or bottom position. Holes on the board enable the PC/104 connectors to pass through unaffected, so the board can be installed at the bottom of the stack closer to the lower board. Mounting spacers and screws for both the hard drive and the board are included, along with a 44-pin ribbon cable.
The holes at the top of the board provide a small prototype area for customer circuitry. These are not designed to enable the installation or pass-through of a PC/104+ connector. The size of a 2.5" hard drive is too large to accommodate both the ISA and PCI connectors on a PC/104 size board.
Flashdisk
Flashdisk Solid-State Storage
Install an IDE flashdisk module onto any of our CPU boards for rugged, lightweight, solid-state mass storage. The flashdisk module works just like an IDE drive and requires no drivers. It provides high-speed nonvolatile mass storage in capacities of 128MB to 4GB. The flashdisk mounts on the IDE connector and is held in place with a spacer and screws (included). It includes a master/slave jumper and operates over -40...+85ºC.
IDE Flashdisk Programming Board
ACC-IDEEXT accessory board lets you connect an IDE flashdisk and an IDE drive (hard disk or CD-ROM), or two IDE drives, to your Diamond Systems’ single board computer. You can also use it to load files from your desktop computer onto an IDE flashdisk module prior to installing the flashdisk onto the SBC. The ACC-IDEEXT board includes 40-pin and 44-pin mating connectors for compatibility with almost any computer and IDE device. 40-pin and 44-pin ribbon cables are included.
Emerald-MM-8PL
8-Channel, Software Programmable PC/104 Serial Port Module
Emerald-MM-8PL offers 8 multi-protocol serial ports on a single PC/104 module with complete software configurability via the operating system. Each port can be individually selected for RS-232, RS-422, or RS-485 under software control. Both local-echo and non-local-echo modes are supported for RS-485. I/O addresses and interrupt levels are also programmable, with interrupt sharing available for any number of ports. Each port may further be enabled or disabled in software. All configuration data is stored in an on-board EEPROM that is loaded automatically on power-up.
For applications where fixed addresses are desired, four groups of preset addresses are available with jumper settings that override the programmed settings. Line termination for RS-422/485 modes is also jumper-selectable.
Emerald-MM-8PL offers 8 convenient digital I/O lines. The direction of each line is independently programmable. Diamond’s Universal Driver software provides software support for these digital I/O lines.
Two I/O headers are provided, with four serial ports and four digital I/O lines on each header. The board operates on +5V only, eliminating the need for a +12V supply that is often required for serial port operation.
Emerald-MM-8PL is based on the industry-standard 16C654 quad serial port IC. Two ICs provide a total of 8 serial ports. Each port contains 64-byte transmit and receive FIFOs to support the high-speed 115.2kbps data rates. Drivers are available for a wide range of operating systems including Windows 10 and Linux.
Note to existing customers:
Emerald-MM-8PL is a form-fit-function replacement for our previous product Emerald-MM-8P (EMM-8P-XT) with the single exception that the maximum RS-232 data rate is limited to 115.2Kbps vs. 460.8Kbps on EMM-8P-XT. This change is due to the end of life of the RS-232 transceiver used on EMM-8P-XT. Except for this component, all other components and the PCB are the same between the two boards.
