Upgrade card for 41CV Message #1 Posted by Mike H on 6 Oct 2004, 5:33 p.m. Saw an interesting item on eBay, an upgrade card to change a CV to a CX. Has anyone seen these before. I wonder if it has the time applications http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=58039&item=5724561953&rd=1

It will not make a CV into a CX Message #2 Posted by Randy on 6 Oct 2004, 6:03 p.m., in response to message #1 by Mike H You're only getting half the story: You'll get time functions but you will not have a full CX, only a CV with "Time" and "CX Time" functions. To have a CX you need the extended memory functions which are in the rom contained within the lcd module. Parts not included. And now the really big omission: The module will only fit in a halfnut version unit. Edited: 6 Oct 2004, 6:05 p.m.

Re: It will not make a CV into a CX Message #3 Posted by Tony Duell on 7 Oct 2004, 7:03 a.m., in response to message #2 by Randy The service manual is not particualarly clear about this, but I believe the extended functions ROM and the extended memory RAM are in this module (along with the timer chip, crystal, time functions ROM, etc). _HOWEVER_ the 41CV main ROM (which is in the LCD driver hybrid) will not look for the extended functions ROM. If yo add this module to a halfnut CV, then you get the time functions, but not the extended functions (I have actually done this to see what would happen).
