minus-square@[email protected]linkfedilink18•edit-27 hours ago The observant will have noticed one of these early uses of mother-board are in conjunction with baby-board, and not today’s common daughterboard. A mother-baby relationship seems more appropriate in this context than mother-daughter. https://english.stackexchange.com/questions/10386/why-motherboard-is-used-to-refer-to-main-board-of-computer So daughter boards were earlier referred to as baby boards. Mother to baby seems a more obvious link than farther.

minus-square@NeoNachtwaechterlink17•edit-26 hours agoNo. When you see 2 or 3 motherboards together, the are probably doing rasbian stuff.
minus-square@T156OPlinkEnglish4•edit-26 hours agoNeat. Wonder why the terminology changed. Maybe baby-board/childboard didn’t roll off the typewriter as well?
