PiKVM-A8 is a member of the [[PiKVM]] <ref>PiKVM © belongs to https://pikvm.org</ref>family. It only supports Raspberry Pi 4 Model B. It is directly inserted into the computer case as a PCI card. That is, you can put a computer into your computer. It does not require additional cables and is more convenient to use.
