Here is an interesting thought. I imagine the A4 to be using the new raspberry pi's? The old model A/B with 26 GPIO pins are so hard to get nowadays.
Reason why I ask is that my model A has broken down but I have like 3 B+'s lying around but the GPIO pins don't match. 26 v 40. Has anyone tried modifying a B+ to work with an A2?
You can do your own adapter (with pin 2 pin wires to use the necessary pins...)
