HC800 as a slave


Recommended Posts

Hi, 
I'm looking at getting a used HC-800-BL to use the RS232 and Contacts so I can get rid of my HC-300 and potentially upgrade to OS 3

1. I have an HC800 running as the primary controller already - I take it another HC800 is not a problem?

2. What considerations do I need before buying from ebay? - as long as the firmware version is equal or lower than my current firmware version??

Thanks.

Rack ears or feet when looking at eBay.

Also are the green chocolate blocks in the back on the pictures.

The one I was looking at just sold unfortunately.
I'm fine with rack or feet.
have not noticed any green chocolate blocks in the pics - why?

The green blocks are the connectors for the relays.

I probably bought the one you were just looking at ;-) 

Hopefully these are not made redundant in the near future as I just bought a bunch.  I prefer the 800 to an EA1 as the EA1 does not have a proper audio output, nor does it have relay connections.

You have to be quick to get the good deals aye!

Green blocks - ok got ya now. - yeah would be a pain without these.

Cheers.
