Firmware 9.0.1

[Hifi_swlon]

As far as my experimenting has gone, the current configurator (at least before 9 came out) could write files compatible back to at least 7.1.1 which I use. There was a hazy ground when the SAm v2 first came out, and a few bugs, but essentially a new config should be backwards compatible - both SAm versions are written to the file and any unrecognised settings are ignored. How far beyond 7.1.1 you can go back I'm not sure.

I only have a 200 and don't configure it extensively, so I'm sure there could be situations where things might come a cropper, but so far has been ok for me.

What would be really nice is that the configurator showed hints as to what version each setting requires so you didn't have to remember what settings worked with what version, to save adjusting things that have no affect with what you're running. Or have a drop down in the advanced configurator for firmware in use, so it could grey out irrelevant features. I guess they assume the latest but thats not a very good system.

Hope everyone had a great Christmas btw. Just back and saw this new major firmware thread, and unless I'm mistaken (haven't had time to read all the way through) it adds practically nothing unless you buy a '900' in which case it lets you use it. Unless I'm missing something?
