Mike,
Other than the pin-outs, what is the difference between the Rev 1 and the 
Rev 2?
Thanks.
Glenn

Hello list,

I will be adding this to the wiki but I just thought I'd mention this here.

The pin-outs of the GPIO header on your Raspberry Pi depends on the
board revision number.

Current boards are rev 2 or greater and all have the same pin-outs.

Revision 1 is different.

Holding your Raspberry Pi exactly as described in the 'Getting Started'
page on the web-site, that is with the USB ports away from you and the
card-holder closest to you; if there is a 2 millimetre mounting hole
just to the left of the USB sockets you have a Rev 2 board.  If not, it
is Rev 1.

You can find this hole with your thumb nail or the point of a pencil
(with no power applied to the board.

Mike
