(Also, I didn't know you made that little board! That's cool!)

Since we're sharing specific links now (and boy do I LOOOOOOVE "specifics"), I think it's necessary to share an exact link to that board. But the only link I can find is the a variant of the board that is larger...

1) The smaller board is smaller because small. Seriously though, the J8 connector is closer on the Plus than on the 128/512... so it just allows for slightly different cable management. This part is now discontinued because....

2) The J8 on a 128/512 board is further away from the mount point of the MacPicoVid when used in a Gutbomb CATMAC case. The larger board moves the connector closer to the J8 on board so you don't have to do any cable shenanigans. It just made more sense to offer one design that covered the 128/512/Plus... so moving forward, this is the part folks should order.
