- This is probably Ampro Computers' CoreModule line. They come in various
- flavors from a PC up to a 386SX and (I believe) even a 486. There are a
- few other vendors of this kind of system, but Ampro tends to be the
- industry leader. They have a whole line of CoreModules that stack up
- to make any kind of system you want. The footprint stays the same but
- the system becomes more "cubic" as you stack them up. There is an
- organization that is standardizing the bus used as PC104.

- They are at (408) 522-2100 in the US. They have international distributors
- if you are located outside the US.
