Just discovered the hard way by trying to install my V12 board that my Octane 2 only has an Xbow ASIC of 1.3.

So I need a front plane with an 1.4 xbow.

I've read through the Octane manual and it states that the personality module needs to be transfered from the old front plane to the new front plane.
Is the version of the Xbow stored in the module or is the front plane electronically/mechanically different from the 1.3 Xbow?

I got one Mike, don't remember what I paid for it and never used it, but since I'm cash strapped...make me an offer.

It's the little "number in a can" at the top left (IIRC) of the frontplane. Take it out of the 1.3 and put it in the 1.4 because it's used for systemID, licenses and such.
