hardware compatibility limitation
The official store says the board's intended SAO connectors are wired mirrored and are not functional with a standard SAO, with no time to correct the layout before the convention. This is a source-specific compatibility limitation, not a generalized claim about all Gothcon or DEF CON hardware.
