Here's a description of the single-board computer at least:

Thanks. I noticed that this board has a PCI bus. Don't tell me they
actually have PCI cards in the Mars rover. Good grief!

We are using this board on the BAT instrument on Swift, a Gamma-Ray
Burst satellite we are launching later this year.

Yes, we use the PCI bus to connect to other PCI cards in the card cage
(which is significantly sturdier than the $29 ATX case you pick up Ed's
Computer Shop).
