Then why would what you observe also be claimed to be the default? As I also pointed out, it's not just what I observe, it's what I and others have observed as well. So far, you are the only person claiming that two ports on a home user board is the default. I have not seen anyone else post that you are correct. Others have posted that you are not correct tho. The problem is, you claim that having two ports is the default. It is not the default. I've said it, even researched it and explained how I researched it, others have also posted the same point. Just because you have boards with two ports does not mean it is a default. Given the research I did, it isn't even close. Boards with two ports for a home user is not only not the default, it's somewhat rare. Out of the top 72 boards I checked, only a couple or so had two ports. That is far from being the default. That is quite rare. Even if it was 5 boards, that would be under 10%. That is hardly something to call a default. If it were say 50%, then one could at least argue that the default is moving to having two ports. It's just not the case. The sooner you figure that out the better for you. Dale :-) :-)
