VL-MPEe-FW1
Actual Size!
Overview
The VL-MPEe-FW1 is an extremely small and rugged FireWire
module based on the industry-standard Mini PCIe module format.
This Mini PCIe module provides an easy and economical way to
add FireWire 1394b to an embedded computing solution. This
module supports one FireWire 800 (1394b) and one FireWire 400
(1394a) channel operating at extended temperature.
This I/O board is compatible with a variety of popular x86 operating
systems including Windows, Windows Embedded, and Linux.
As with all VersaLogic products, the VL-MPEe-FW1 is designed
to support OEM applications where high reliability and long-term
availability are required. From application design-in support, to its
5+ year production life guarantee, the VL-MPEe-FW1 provides a
durable I/O expansion with an excellent cost of ownership.
