maker-documented attachment and display surface
The maker says the board holds up to 25 SAOs, has a notch beside each port for tethering, includes keyhole-compatible leash-ring rectangles, and exposes outer white LEDs linked to the top-left slot; the product page says the separate SmartAO SAO is required for the outer LEDs. It does not publish slot pinouts, port layout, connector orientation, current per port, SmartAO protocol, LED circuitry, compatibility matrix, mechanical load test, or user safety guidance.

Public July 2026 response from Coruscant Ventures / vor_t3x1 that marks SaO MANY SAOs as Update to Existing, gives an $80 price and Venmo acquisition note, links vortexcodes, and states 25 SAO slots with a 360 by 360 mm size. It supports later independent maker continuity, not a new revision, final availability, completed sale/delivery, official DEF CON issue, or image-reuse permission.

Primary maker technical documentation for two pre-installed 18650 batteries, USB/barrel/battery power behavior, stated 30 mA and 300 mA SAO-budget conditions, surge-protection claim, up-to-25-SAOs capacity, outer-LED/SmartAO relationship, and physical retention accessories. It does not establish a complete released circuit, final production revision, measured safety behavior, firmware/software release, license, or image reuse right.
