The expansion boards provide up to four additional USB ports. The VL-EPHs-B1A model provides four USB ports (two Type A connectors and two on pin headers) while the VL-EPHs-B1B provides three USB ports (one Type A connector and two on pin headers) and one eUSB flash memory expansion site. Pricing is around $40 each in OEM quantities. VERSALOGIC CORP., Eugene, OR. (800) 824-3163.
