    Isn't there a lower profile of the Pi 3 B?

      I saw a pic of a 3 B that had no ethernet port and the 2 USB ports were single, resulting in a much thinner profile. My Google-Fu is weak and I can't find it.

      System Config: Retropie 4.4 with full desktop, RPi 3B, 256gb SD, 5v 2.1A 5,200 mAH USB battery. EasyMSX controller mounted with Pimoroni Hyperpixel 4 (non touch). Also running 4.6 on a 4gb Pi 4 serving as my primary desktop computer now.

        @VictimRLSH It's the Compute Module (CM3) ?

          No, the form factor was identical to the 3 B, except as noted. Maybe it was a hack?

            Ah!!! Once I started searching for projects, I found it. It is a hack...

              @VictimRLSH The new Rapsberry 3A+ is out. It's got the height of a single USB port if you desolder the GPIO pins.
