Different boards

There are three different models of the WRAP: *The WRAP 1-1 has two Ethernet ports, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 16x16cm board. *The WRAP 1-2 has three Ethernet ports and one mini-PCI slot, on a 16x16cm board. *The WRAP 2 has one Ethernet port, and two mini-PCI slots, on a 10x16cm board.

Operating System

The WRAP is capable of running many different operating systems, including various

End Of Life (EOL)

PC Engines announced the end of life for the WRAP platform in 2007. The board was replaced by the ALIX.
