Legacy Upgarde

You can go from 1.2 to any current version of Legacy software, so 1.60 is fine.  I'm sure that very soon Charles Ro will have 1.61 on the modules to purchase.

The modules are written in the Legacy command base using the LSU (Legacy System Utility) from Lionel.  It requires a serial port on your Windows computer, or a USB <-> Serial dongle.

Here's the page to download the LSU and the current versions of the command base and CAB2 software: https://www.lionelsupport.com/...5&productNumber=

John,

Thanks for the response. So if I pick up a serial port to USB cable, Do I still need the writable modules? I did discover I have version 1.3.

Yes, you need at least one writable module if you download the software.  Of course, you could also use Free Black Modules for Legacy and save some money.

Guys/gals the LSU is very easy to use.  Give it a try.

I'm trying to upgrade my base and controller but am having difficulty even downloading the utility system to do so.  My computer is running Windows 10 and I'm wondering if this is the problem.  Does anyone know if the Utility 2.0 will run on Windows 10?  If not, any suggestions?  Thanks in advance!

Byron,

Running 2.0 on Windows 10 with no problems.

Yes, it installs fine. Right-click the downloaded 6964 folder and select extract all - you will have a new folder named 6964 without the zipper icon. It should open content viewing automatically. Double-click setup and the installer should start. There should be a permission message. Select yes. Then, there is a file warning - keep the one that have - select yes and it should be done.

Go to programs and launch it.

Now you need a usb to serial adapter and have it installed with drivers.

Then, the LSU will find it automatically.

Thank you very much fellas...  as usual, the problem is me...  I'm about as proficient with computers as I am with micro biology. Ha ha ha.  I'll give it another shot with the directions above and see what happens...
