I recently purchased a PC104, what operating systems can be purchased to run these boards.
I have a Compact Flash Card as a hard drive using windows 95 and 98 which writes continusly to the compact flash.
I would imagine this would shorten the life of the card. Would I be best using Linix.
Thanks Simon
That is obvious if you are asking here. You can use Linux at no cost.
Of course you can use Windows (e.g. XP embedded and CE versions), VxWorks and many other propriety OSes, too.

You can use DOS. Here you can find out heaps C++, C# and VB source code running under DOS and Windows. Some examples show you how to communicate to serial port and and Ethernet. You can make your DOS or Windows controller to be Web-Enabled, link your sensors to your web browsers.
PC104 is simply an ISA bus but laid out in a different way. I'm assuming that what you have is a CPU rather than just a card that plugs into a PC104 bus.
