while were all discussing these machines and data driver I was under the assumption that the dz-2001A was already legacy modified which is why they went away from the data driver.
am I incorrect please advise.
as to needing another amplifier board seems like this product needs to be redesigned to be totally compatible with legacy.
and cannot say one way or other on legacy base as some say it's limited to what it can drive yet I have 2 tpc's and 6 bpc's working using legacy base and cab-2 so wheres the problem using multiple devices on legacy just trying to understand it all.
in closing after a 12 hr power down hey there still working!
I wonder what the next kafuffle awaits me around the next curve?
thanks for all the help so far, $oo
The DZ2001 is already modified for the Legacy base as you say, but we found out that it while it functioned ok by it self it seemed, the a new TPC connected to it would not work. I believe an old pre Lionel TPC following it did work.
Lionel did say that the Legacy base could only drive three (new) TPCs. Don't know about BPCs, etc. Anyway all these variations of this works but that doesn't were solved with a booster amp attached to the Legacy base followed by the DZ2001 and whatever you want to drive. You just have to split off the connections to a PC computer before the booster amp.
