You're correct (IFAIK)
HW:44 are 'genuine' Acekard 2i based on Actel chip design
HW:80 are either 'Real' or 'Fake' Ak2i with Actel chips - depending on your point of veiw (more details supplied by Another World can be found
in this post)
'Bad Batch' cards only affect ak 2.1 cards - & these are HW:80
I've got a HW:44 & that run AKAIO1.6RC2 just fine.
Just to check - what do you mean by 1.5+ ??
Do you meant you've tried v1.5, v1.5.1, v1.6RC1 and v1.6RC2 ??
i got a bunch of people in #acekard to run tests on what they own. we compiled this official list for the wiki...
QUOTEWhat are the HWID's of the different Acekard builds?
1.AK2 pre-FAT error - HWID 40
2.AK2 post-FAT error - HWID 41
3.AK2 Dark Green with the 2.1 FAT fix (windowed CPU) and a 2.1 sticker - HWID 41
4.AK2.1 Light/Dark Green PCB - HWID 80
5.AK2.1 Black PCB - HWID 80
6.AK2.1 Blue PCB - HWID ??
