PCI/104-Express is one of the newer variations of the PC104 standard. PCI/104-Express combines a connector for a PCI interface and a connector for the PCI-Express [PCIe] interface. Similar to the introduction of the PCI/104 interface in many other board formats, PCI/104 now uses the PCI Express [PCIe] electrical interface.
This is basically a follow on to the PCI-104 specification, which only used a PCI connector and now adding a connector for the PCI express interface.
The PCI bus connector is a 4x30, 2mm stack-through connector. PCI-104
cards may still reside in a stack with either PC/104 cards or PC/104-Plus
cards. However when PCI-104 boards are combined in a stack with other
type boards they must reside on the top of the stack [because they do not
have the XT or AT connectors]. If PC/104-Plus cards are used they must
reside underneath the PCI-104 cards. PCI-104 boards may only be stacked 4
cards high. This PCI bus operates at 33MHz, 66MHz PCI operations are not
supported.
The elimination of the J1 and J2 connectors allows for the
addition of the PCI-Express interface connector. The PCI-104 specification defines the mechanical
foot print and card power requirements.
This is a stacked bus with no backplane or interconnecting cable. The
cards plug into each other.
The card size for each of the PC/104 standards is shown below.
Card [dimensions] size / Form Factor
Boards may be stacked 6 high when using the PC-AT [PC/104] bus, but only four of the boards may use the PCI bus.
PCI-104 Pinouts
Pin out signal name table for the PCI-104 interface bus.
The PCI-104-Express bus uses the same integrated circuits as PCI-Express Bus.
The PCI104 bus and the PC/104-Plus use normal CMOS
devices for the PCI Bus interface.
It's the same interfaces in a different form factor.
The main listing of ICs are listed on the original interface pages, and not relisted here.
The electrical interfaces isn't changing, only the board and connectors [the physical interface].

PCI-104 Specification [Version 1.0, 2003]
PCI-104-Express Specification [Version 1.0, 2008]
PCI-104-Express Specification [Version 2.0, 2011]
I believe that PCIe/104 is a part of the above specification.
The PCI side of the card uses a 4 x 30 (120-pin) 2mm pitch stack-through connector or non-stack-through connector.
However the PCI express side of the board uses a connector similar to the one used in the SATA.
The companies may produce one or both of the connector styles.
