The latest version is probably 3.5 or so, which is the last version to be specifically written to that card. The new one is ODLI-based, and will work on multiple cards, but won't use on-board intelligence of the EXOS 205x boards. Oh, well. There is a difference between the two software package, which renders all software written for the previous version inoperable on the later version. A relink would fix this, if you have the code, but otherwise, you're probably SOL. -- =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Alan Medsker Viewlogic Systems, Inc.
