EPIC (form Factor)

Embedded Platform for Industrial Computing (EPIC) is a computer form factor standard put forth by a combined effort from WinSystems, VersaLogic, Octagon Systems, Micro/sys, and Ampro.

EPIC is a new standard that solves the need for an industrial-quality SBC that fits in size between PC/104-Plus and EBX standards. EPIC is endorsed by major SBC companies. It supports both PC/104 and PC/104-Plus expansion to take advantage of the hundreds of I/O modules available worldwide. It also has the flexibility to support high speed, serial buses like PCI Express.

Famous quotes containing the word epic:

    “I am not a great man, but sometimes I think the impersonal and objective equality of my talent and the sacrifices of it, in pieces, to preserve its essential value has some sort of epic grandeur.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
