How this assembly will be packaged ?
in a plug in module or as a daughter board on the CL ?
If it is a daughter board, what will be the compatibility with the beta, v2, v3, v4 & v5 boards ?

Best regards,

Either way. The board is designed to go into a module housing, but you can always solder it internally. Only V4 and V5 boards have connection points on the top of the board for this purpose, but you can always solder it directly to the 41C bus up by the display drivers. I would not recommend trying to solder it to the 41CL board directly unless you are an experienced solderer and have a temperature-controlled small-tip soldering iron. The connection points are only 1mm x 1mm on the CL board, so it will likely require 30-guage wire and a steady hand.
