What assurance can we give the technically uninterested end user that the $11
card that works with their $30 toaster will not blow up their $1000 TV when
their 6 year old swaps the cards ? I don't care if it does not work in the TV,
but the consumer will be upset if it draws too much power (or something) and
damages the TV.

My question is one about branding, or regulation of the standard, to stop ''cheap
chinese cloners'' from wrecking the public perception of EOMA68.
