== History ==
The ECB bus was invented in 1977 by the german company Kontron. '''ECB''' originally stands for "Einfach Europaformat Computer Baugruppen" (Simple or Single Europaformat Computer Modules; where "Europaformat" refers to a standarized circuit board size of 160x100mm). ECB is sometimes also referred to as "Europa Bus" or "Europe Card Bus".
Aside from Kontron, other companies like J&K, o+r, ELZET80, Conitec, E-Lab, Marflow, and miro also invented different ECB-bus variants. The CPC Schneiderware series also invented a new variant. There is also an extended 16bit variant (for 68000 processors or so).
