Reply to "Issues/Precaution if buying Loco with PS2 5v Board"

An explanation might be in order, but I don't know if one is forthcoming. Truthfully, I'm a fan of the 3V PS/2 board as well, I've had the best luck with those. I have a PS/3 steam upgrade board that failed right out of the box, I have to see if MTH is going to replace it. I've installed probably 30-35 of the PS/2 upgrades, never had a bad board. Out of half a dozen of the PS/3 upgrades, I'm already up to two bad boards. Not a record I actually was inspired to attaining!

Before the peanut gallery chimes in, these are brand new sealed upgrade kits, and I take them out using proper static precautions. My first step is to connect them to the MTH test set and load sound files, so bad wiring is not possible, they're just bad from the get-go! That hasn't inspired confidence for me in the PS/3 system.
