    Will DC8 work with Apex 2016?

    Currently I have Apex Classic with 2 x EB8 and 1 x DC8. The DC8 communication cord plugs into one of the EB8. Then Apex classic sees the DC8 outlets as virtual controllable outlets. Planning to using 2 x EB8 and DC8 with the new Apex 2016. Will DC8 work the same way on the new Apex 2016?

    The 2016 doesn't have the legacy port so it won't work. I would just sell the DC8 to someone with a classic.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    He's plugging the DC8 into one of his EB8 and not the base unit. This setup will still work with the new apex. DC8's are pretty old and I would be worried about reliability after all this time.

    No, it will not. Pre-Apex peripherals such as the DC8, DC4HD, PX1000, or LunarSim cannot be used with the Apex.
    Please do not send me PMs with technical questions or requesting assistance - use the forums for Apex help. PM me ONLY if the matter is of a private or personal nature. Thanks.
