Thank you all for your potential contribution :)
The meet with Antoine will do the trick.
Nevertheless, if I could get an A2M2053, the device could be fully
chainable. This option is not required as the device could still sit at
the end of the chain.


It's also worth checking an A9M0106, just for full compatibility
testing (although most of the time, these will be used on //cs, which
can't use the A9M0106).

Also, have you considered using microSD instead of USB? It might bring
the cost of the project down, and also make it a smaller package.
(However, USB is quite convenient.)


Yes, the A9M0106, A2M4050 and A2M2053 will be tested.

The choice of the USB result from many considerations.
Mainly usb allow for much more than mass storage (let me fly in my dreams), is very convenient like you said, and looking for existing hardware, I found usb slightly cheaper than other solutions. 
Nevertheless, a sd/microsd slot could be added to the main board.
One of my dream for this project is also to allow the //c to use the A9M0106, but this is another story. Somebody would need it ?
