Are the Beagleboard and the Gumstix Overo-Water similar enough that 
the Beagleboard port is likely to run on the Overo?

I'm disappointed in the small number of GPIO pins available on the 
Beagleboard. Oddly, I haven't been able to find a straightforward 
breakout board for the OMAP 3530-- they all seem to assume you want 
everything *except* GPIO pins, despite the large number of them 
available on the chip itself.

The Gumstix Overo-Water is pretty close, though. All pins are available 
on a pair of *tiny* connectors (two rows of 35 pins in about 5/8", which 
works out to about two pins per mm-- not sure if this can be soldered 
without expensive equipment). And they have an expansion board with 60 
normal-sized header pins that has a lot of potential. Price is only 
slightly higher than the Beagleboard.
