Use of BXDS with BS2P

Hi all:
I just started to use the Netmedia's BXDS with the BS2P.
Works just great. Are pin by pin compatible.
The advantage of the BXDS is that all I/O pins in the BS2P are
uncommitted so are the peripherals pins which are brought out to a
header.
Plus adds some extra goodies such as 8 LEDs instead of four, four
servo outputs, two inverters, one channel DAC, one RS-485 port, a
light sensor, a thermistor sensor.
Also is not that bad the cost, $ 69.95 (which includes a power pack,
one BXDS board, a set of jumper wires with pin terminations) vs $
89.00 for the Activity BD.
The power pack which came with the BXDS works just fine except that
does not enough juice to power the BXDS plus a LCD+.
The only thing to be aware is the power pack of the Activity BD uses
the same plug type but has the connections reversed compared with
power pack which came with BXDS.
