Currently I am doing some Tasc testing with

x3 Tasc R30 operator units, one shows as Smartboard I on the System Information and two as Smartboard II, program versions v2.2 and v2.5.
x3 SB30 boards
x1 SB20 board
x2 of the boards work with Piece Type 1 (see Vitali's thread TASC SmartBoard Ersatzfiguren)
x2 of the boards work with Piece Type 2

I have been trying to work out which components are compatible. Of course the SB20 does not work with v2.2. The sets of Type 1 pieces are interchangeable, as are the Type 2 sets. I cannot get a Type 2 board or the pieces to work with a Type 1, or vice versa.

To my surprise my v2.2 eproms (bought with a Tasc in 1994) do not work with the two SB30s which use Piece Type 1. The R30 comes up the correct version information but does not react correctly with the SB30 when v2.2 is installed. There is no problem using v2.2 with the SB30 which uses Piece Type 2.

Does anybody know if v2.2 only works with the earlier Smartboards/R30s?

It is surprising that Tasc built in so many compatibility problems so if I have got this wrong can this knowledgeable forum please let me know.

All the best from the UK
