 the standard is a long-term standard that cannot be changed once the
first product in the range is launched.  as the first product hasn't
been launched, i have the advantage and benefit of more time to think
"what would a long-term standard have in it?"

 also because i am now working right now with *three* CPU Cards and
two base units simultaneously i have the advantage of being able to
think how to cover as many possibilities as can be done.

 the IC1T has only 210 pins for example, yet the revisions made
recently *still* allow that IC to be within the standard.
