Bob,
Jim Hanna found that IDENT didn't work for NCE decoder. Checking into this,
I found that the NCE name is used differently in the decoderIndex and the
decoder files. In decoderIndex.xml, it is shown as "NCE Corp" but in the
NCE_D13SR.xml file is is "North Coast Engineering". Once Jim changed the
decoder file to read NCE Corp and then reindexed, IDENT "worked" fine.
Thanks for catching that! I've fixed the originals.
I put worked in quotes because every NCE decoder reports 32 for CV07! Jim
is going to call NCE and ask about this. Perhaps they use a different CV
for model info.
That's an example of a "family" of decoders. Jim Scorse uses the same micro-code for his line of "Silent Running" decoders. They all contain the same program, hence the same version number. The only thing that changes is the PC card, which can vary in shape/size, and have different numbers of function output transistors.
