Quoted from flynnibus:The reason it is bad for stern is because it would create a secondary market of reselling the node boards for older games with lots of 'unofficial' combinations of parts and setups. Nevermind undermining the push Stern wants in the first place.. which is wide IC adoption.
If their primary goal is wide IC adoption then they need to come up with a way to use IC on machines without requiring a card reader. The day they do I will order $100 of wifi dongles and micro sd cards to setup my pins. At $800 USD total cost for my four pins (probably be $1200 USD as I think the kits are going up to 300 once the "intro" pricing is over), +shipping, plus currency conversion I would be looking at probably $1700 CDN just to get them all on IC the proper way. Crazy.
