The only basic incompatibility issue, that i know of, is that you can't use any
non-Richard-Lang-Modules in a Bavaria-board. The piece-recognition was only
supported by Lang-modules.

Maybe some older boards have a weak voltage-regulator built-in, which is not
strong enough for 32Bit-modules. But when you use an adaptor board, then all
32Bit-modules should work in any board (except Bavaria! see above)

As far as i know, there are no special 32Bit-boards...
