Unfortunately not at
the moment, I?ll see what I can do. To get started on daughter card design,
the important thing in my description below is that the real estate we have to
use is going to be 2? by 4 Inches, with the 96 pin connector on one 4 inch
side (Standard EuroCard width and about ¼ the depth) any connectors to the
real world on the other 4 inch side which protrude through the front panel.
Maximum height of components on the board must be < .75 inches per original
suggestion. I estimate raw costs on manufacturing a daughter board will be
about 16 ? 20 bux depending on quantity.
I am still googling
enclosures so the height of the backplane is still in question. I am trying
for Phil?s 4 board selection. Also motherboard stacking is still in question,
but will probably come out the bottom or the top of the enclosure. That might
be left on the MB in final design, but inaccessible from this particular
enclosure.
If an enclosure with
vertical as well as horizontal slides is chosen, any additional length in the
enclosure (i.e. 4 inches in a standard eurocard enclosure) would have
vertically mounted boards to hold such larger components as power
regulators.
I?ll try to get a
concept drawing.
I have found a
Rose+Bopla ?Build a Box? which fits our approximate requirements, but I am
still searching. Also I have not found a distributor for these enclosures.
Anything OEM tends to be expensive, in small
quantities.
