That actually wasnt what I was suggesting about future OS releases for theXO-1. I was suggesting that one might, for future releases that have a larger footprint and more need to swap, that there would be a 'requirement' for OS 12.x.x to have the SD slot occupied with at least a 2Gb SD card, that would be populated as the builders see fit.<br>
<br>At around $6.75 per unit, it could be replaced if it wore out. If it was dedicated to swap, links, and easily backed up data, its failure, even if in a couple of years, would not be a prohibitive cost.<br><br>KG<br><br>

</div>The XO-1 isn't manufactured anymore. When it was manufactured, it used<br>
bare NAND rather than an SD card, and the cost of 2G of bare NAND was<br>
significantly more expensive than 1G of bare NAND.<br>
