Please place me on the 'confirmed' list I agree we should all order at once if possible.
Looking at the 7300 (the one I assume John is looking at)... While the extra functionality would be nice, I don't have a need for it at this stage. I would prefer to stick with the 7200, given its smaller price tag. Having said that, if it's needed that we all have the same board for ordering or platform related issues, I can live with it. With regard to future use on our robot platforms; I definitely want to see the 802.11 option on the board, and need to order the 12-38 V dc power module (or POE). I did find another board at http://www.tri-m.com/products/aaeon/pfm535i.html This board is $210 CDN and comes with a full cable kit. Not as many features though. I only suggest this because I would fully expect delays and at least a $100 per unit price increase due to duties and shipping if we order from the states. Tri-M is in Vancouver and could ship to us in 2 days. Also, don't forget that because this is PC104, we can add all kinds of bells and whistles later with additional boards instead of having it all now. I am looking forward to this workshop.... it should trigger all kinds of tinkering.

Same here. Took a look, and it would be stupid of me NOT to use the SD options... So either a higher end board, or add the SD bit onto a lower end board. I think we should just group our needs into one order. That way we don't need to worry about "Joe's" order being late. I also think we should simply grab the same kit for all the workshop attendees. Mixing hardware platforms will make for other issues we probably wouldn't have the time to deal with... Just a thought though.
