I'm surprised they're out of stock so many places!
Thank you, John! Like an idiot, I bought a NIOB version 1.0 990 on bee (in pig latin) without doing my "version" homework for a relatively embarrassing price thinking it could be upgraded easily. Now I've got to send it to Lionel for the upgrade and the black modules for version backup are nowhere to be found, not even as a grossly over-priced item on the above -referenced site. The update will likely take 8 weeks, but, in the meantime, I'll be able to turn my two blue 1.0 modules into backup copies of the latest version of the CAB-2 and 992 base software and handle future updates at home with your "fix." So, thanks again!
