Non-adhesive overlays can be transferred in between all 3 hardware models without loss of functionality, if I'm not mistaken.

Yes - the only difference between the DB48x and DB50x background overlays are the logo at the bottom. I am now including the full complement of key labels that the DM32 hardware requires regardless of whether the overlay is intended for installation on DM42, DM42n, or DM32.

If DB48x was the universal name, it wouldn't matter to me what hardware they are installing on.

It does not actually matter, other than for aesthetics.

Quote:I can't recall, though, if Christophe was protecting for a possible future state where the DB50x may diverge from the DB48x? That may have been the case because he was bumping against the flash storage capacity with the DB48x, but since the change to the floating point library, that situtation improved...

That is correct. Also, I think it helps people doing updates to know "I have a DM32 or DM42n, therefore I pick DB50x from the download page".
