The only ones I've seen, in my somewhat limited experience, are boards designed to plug into a PC bus, such as the XT or AT slot SBC's. If you wish a guaranteed complete and forever guarantee of compatibility, then I think you're looking at either eventually designing your own board to a specific form factor, or designing your own board completely. Perhaps you might consider one of the popular "standards", use an existing board while working on your own, and at least be able to use an existing population of capes/shields/daughterboards, etc. Harvey > >Thanks, >Chris -- For more options, visit http://beagleboard.org/discuss --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "BeagleBoard" group.
