first off wanted to say that you have all been so helpful and wanted to show you in print.
now the update I was curious as to using the legacy base as my first attempt of plugging dz data driver in didn't work but-----
with getting a bigger transformer to power data driver and switch machines and getting the wiring correctly hooked up I decided to plug data driver back into legacy base and using the y cord attached it back to the tmcc base and it works using cab-2 or the cab-1 horayyyyy.
yes I plan on leaving the tmcc hooked up as if it goes poof again I can use cab-1 to trouble shoot as a backup.
I'm 99.999% sure I was fighting a lack of power for the dz components to function properly in regards to all switch machines throwing from straight to diverging routes.
will still work on the programming mode on how to access it and will write it down once I figure out the correct way so can eliminate future errors on my part!
thanks again now onto my hiawatha speaker which I need to see if local hobby shop stocks it in repair center, a Big Thanks again to all for your ongoing support for us in need of help. $oo
