Glossary
- Via Eden CPU, also called Via C3-2, Nehemiah
- VT1622M: included in most Via CLE266 chipsets, provides TV-out (NTSC or PAL) via composite (CVBS) and SVIDEO connectors
- TTL-LCD interface: appears to be different from LVDS, for interfacing with TFT panels
- LVDS: interface standard for LCD panels, often 2x18bit, primarily used with industrial displays, not interesting for consumers
- PC/104: standard ISA bus connector for PC/104 peripheral cards
- PC/104+: standard PCI bus connector for PC/104+ peripheral cards
- CF: CompactFlash Cards are re-writable (about 10.000 times), cheap and common, have an interface very similar to IDE and are easily adapted to IDE or PCMCIA/Cardbus slots. Not a full replacement for harddisks because they will wear out when frequently written to, but if the programming is done with this in mind, and uses ramdisk for temporary storage, this is not a problem
