Intel PCIe Socketable Computer: Ghost Canyon NUC SFF PC

[Journey]

Just putting this out there, I am sure lots of you folk will find this fascinating, but it is literally decades old technology.

When he says baseboard he means backplane, and and the "socketable" computer is just an SBC in half size form factor. This is industrial computing brought to the mainstream, with a more bespoke approach.

I'm expecting them to launch mini-AT next.

I'd love to know how it differs from PICMG 1.3 boards, as the back-plane does look like it only uses a normal 16x PCI-E slot, where as the half-size SBC's that fit PICMG 1.3 use something similar to extended PCI-E interface, I not it is also a double slot PCI board rather than single to accommodate the I/O and the custom cooling solution.

I remember adding a 496 "PC on a card" to my Amiga 3000 back in the day

Not seen a Zorro II card for years, if I recall the interface ran at an astonishing 7.16MHz which was enough to move about 3.5Mbps.
