hi Chuck > >I know Mephisto released 4 boards in this line: > >Modular >Exclusive >Munchen >Bavaria > >But apparently some of these boards only accept 16-bit modules while some will >accept 32-bit modules. I understand for the Munchen boards that 32-bit >compatible ones are distinguished by an "S" marking next to the word "Munchen" >on top of the board, but what about the others? I know you could get the 32-bit >modules in Exclusive boards, but which Exclusive boards are/are not compatible? well not exactly what i mentioned in an earlier post was that some older Mobil,Exclusive and Muchen boards could only accept 8(eight) bit modules(MM1,MM3 etc) and not 16/32 bit modules then Mephisto released "S" versions of the Exclusive and Munchen boards which could accept all 8,16 and 32 bit modules Mephisto soon removed the label "S" on the Exclusive boards but kept it on the Munchen boards so again..the issue was 8BIT to 16/32 bit compatability not 16-32 bit compatibilty all boards that accepet 16 bit will also accept 32 bit as far as the Bavaria ..all World champion Mephisto modules starting from version 1.04 of the Portorose eprom will work in the Bavaria the first versions of the Portorose were not Bavaria compatible >I assume new modules such as the Senator/Magellan and the Renaissance only work >with the 32-bit boards, correct? yes the Senator and Magellan will work in the boards that are not 8 BIT ONLY(NON S) As to the Renaissance..i am not sure what you are refering to here?? there was a Renaissance board but this is released by Saitek Best Steve
