What would happen if one would drop in a CM5 module into the existing CM4 adapter board? Would that work at all?

Reason I am asking: I would like to upgrade from the A311D in my Reform to something faster, though RAM limitations and USB2 are what I want to get away from the most. Reusing the adapter board would be a lovely option! I could live with some drawbacks eg
CM5 exclusive features not exposed.

@mntmn
That does say Hyper Black but I didn't notice the sticker before opening the box.. 😞

@mntmn
...yeah... But I am sure their support will find a solution -- and then I get to look forward to receiving another package and unboxing 😹

But seriously, the little I saw today (before carefully packing it down again) looking very impressive! 😻

@mntmn
Great news, the Pocket arrived today! 🥳

It was a joy to unpack -- until I realized they shipped the wrong one: this one is black while I ordered the purple 😣

Got in touch with CS support and hope they can solve this quickly.

Don't think I would usually care so much about the color of things but this is a *purple* computer we talk about! 😹

@mntmn
Sure, it is # 171486

@mntmn
Sure, will do, and thanks!

I am still waiting for mine:
Pocket Reform Hyper Purple
Keyboard Switch Options: Clicky Switches (Kailh Choc White)

Order placed on April the 14th.

The MNT Reform keyboard is pretty cool (and open hardware!), might fit your needs, and some of the MNT team will be at the camp: @mntmn

I would assume they bring some of their hardware to play with :)

Here is the keyboard: https://shop.mntre.com/products/mnt-reform-keyboard-30?taxon_id=13
I use an older version in my Reform 2 Laptop and really like the keyboard! The option for custom firmware is nice if you want to e.g. change layout in original ways and move between machines frequently.

@mntmn
Is there anything Reform-specific that changes with that update?
