if you mean this board:  tomverbeure.github.io/2021/01/22/The-Col...velopment-board.html

i have a test board for it:
 

without Ethernet and stepper/encoder/IO interfaces on extra cards

Nice, this is similar to what I had in mind. Is the board design open source?

was not the plan, it's only for testing the concept, but you can have it:

multixmedia.org/color_i5.tgz
(eagle-files, but you can import it into kicad)

where you living ?
i have some PCB's of this version, if you need one....

Thanks, had to add https:// to the link but I could download and import them. It doesn't look that I would gain much over prototyping on the colorlight devboard though, but I do like the modular backplane/module approach.

I've wanted to do something similar for custom instruments (kinda like modular chassis National Instruments and others are making), but it'd make a neat CNC controller- customizable with modules targeting particular servo drive brands or encoder connectors etc). Though it's probably too much for me to tackle building both an overengineered controller and machine at the same time :(

Those SODIMM boards look like they have a reasonable priced spartan6-16x, the Linsn mini901,
which could probably just load Hostmot2. same with the Colorlight i9+ which has spartan7, which I think ive seen someone port HM2 to the spartan7
