I wasn't sure what I needed, so I just bought the board to be sure. I 
actually have both the Futaba receiver and a Spectrum satellite. The 
easiest would be to use the Spectrum satellite. But I think I have to 
change the Molex connector since it is a three pole connector. If I'm 
not mistaken, It need to be a four pole connector where three are used?

Yes I discovered that. But how do you access the Gumstix? Is an 
expansion board needed, or can you do it when it is connected to the 
Lisa/l board?

How do you connect it to the Lisa board?
