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.

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.
