Management keeps asking What if beagle board goes bankrupt, and it would make my life easier if I could answer We can always switch to brand X since it has the same form factor and connectors ... 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.

Beagle board has no money so no chance we can go bankrupt. We are what is called a non-profit. Everything is open source so you can always build it yourself. People do it all the time.
