[sdiy] Today's Pet Peeve

[Tom Wiltshire]

Totally agree about portability and flexibility. What that means in terms of specification, I have no idea. But neither does anyone else!

Two boards is pretty much guaranteed to work, three boards is a stretch. And it depends so much on the power connector depth and the amount of space the power bus takes up.
