These boards are compatible with CONTEC PCI bus products and share same input/output interface specifications and connector shape/signal assignment as the existing PCI products, allowing to use same cables and accessories. Also the same API (Application Program Interface) software can be used, thus engineers can shift to new systems using PCI Express without changing user's program.

These new boards are lead-free (higher than JEITA Phase 2 level) and RoHS-compliant.
