daughterboard definition
hardware (Or "daughter board", "daughtercard", "daughter card") A
printed circuit board that connects to the
motherboard. The daughterboard is typically smaller than the motherboard.

motherboard, unlike an
expansion card which provides some new function. For example, a post-release hardware modification might be released as a daughterboard for soldering onto the
motherboard.
