Software 02.00.00 Compatibility
Keep the following PC Card database compatibility guidelines in mind
when backing up and restoring site data:
U slot software version 02.00.00 databases and higher in systems using
CPU P/N 80025A are compatible (both 4 and 8 slot versions).
U slot software version 02.00.00 databases in systems using CPU P/N
80025 are not compatible with databases using CPU P/N 80025A.
Fixed slot databases are not compatible with any U slot databases.
Database Compatibility
Note that after using Program 9907: Database Load to restore a
database, the system will automatically reset.
Programs 9906: Database Save and 9907: Database Load show the type of
database stored (see the graphic below). There are two types of databases:
DB8 = 8 slot universal software with CPU 80025A
DB4 = 4 slot universal software with CPU 80025

you can only restore a DB8 database into a DB8 system. If you attempt to
restore a database of the wrong type (i.e., if you have a database version
mismatch), you will see the following error message and the operation will
abort:
