I haven't seen any replies to the question but I am not aware of any professional
support. I assume you are familiar with Chelton EFIS Pilots.com Tim is the
most knowledgeable person I am aware of on these legacy units and has done a superb
job helping to keep them going.
I had two units in my RV10 (sold) and had bought an unused system as backup - just
in case. I did have to upgrade the hard drives at one point due to failure.
Best of luck to you - I really liked the Cheltons

For those of you that have the Cheltons I wish the best of luck keeping them going
until time passes them by.
For those that are building now, I suggest that you carefully consider your avionics
choices. You have to consider how likely support will exist down the road
and how easily you can upgrade when the time comes. In the long run you may
be better off with something a little more expensive up front, but repairable
down the road and easily upgraded when the time comes. Dynon did a good job of
that going from the D1000 to the HDX screens. It was one of the reasons I went
with 3 HDX screens in my RV10 (and a GTN650 for IFR). Hopefully that will continue
in the future. The 37 pin connector in the HDX screens had a number of
leads labeled for future development. That is a positive sign.
I suspect Garmin will be reasonably supportive of their equipment also, but I dislike
that Garmin does their best to make their equipment not play well with
anyone elses.
Also for those that are considering putting your own avionics in like I did, Dynon
uses network cables for most of their communications between devices. Garmin
products need custom built wiring harnesses between every device. The network
architecture Dynon uses does make it much easier to install.
Whatever your choices are, consider what support will be like down the road.
