Hey James, 

Good question. 

When to list something as end-of-life is a subject of much discussion in Parallax. In this case, our supply of SX Proto Boards will likely deplete to zero at the same time that we sell out of SX chips. Our goal is to run out of the "tools" products (SX Proto Boards, SX programming tools) at the same time we run out of SX chips. The BASIC Stamps that use the SX is an exception, however due to our internal locked-up manufacturing supply. Marketing is taking a guess that for all practical purposes we will not be ordering more SX Proto Boards, so we might as well tell our customers today even though the supply could last for months or years. Listing these boards as EOL is opposite to the statement I made that "SX-based products are not being EOL'd at this time". It's one of the products that doesn't fit well in our black/white filter of EOL/no EOL.  

So, it appears the SX Proto Boards are indeed EOL since we will not be building more of them.
