ZF Micro Solutions is a privately held company founded in 2002 by David L. Feldman, the creator of the PC/104 IEEE standard and the 5-1/4" form factor embedded Single Board Computer. In March of 2002 National Semiconductor Corporation advised Mr. Feldman that it would not manufacture the ZFx86™ for ZF Micro Solutions. ZF Micro Solutions filed a lawsuit in the Superior Court of the County of Santa Clara, State of California, as ZF Micro Solutions, Inc. vs. National Semiconductor Corporation. It was filed on April 25, 2002 under case # CV807339. Effective January 31, 2005, ZF Micro Solutions finalized a settlement agreement with National Semiconductor Corporation ending an almost 3 year legal dispute concerning the ZFx86™ FailSafe® System-on-a-Chip.
