Hi,

I read in the acekard wiki that some acekards built in 2009 should not be used with akaio 1.8.X (http://wiki.gbatemp.net/wiki/AKAIO)

But how do I find out which one I have?

I read this post to find out: http://gbatemp.net/t158696-how-to-distingu...al-ak2-and-ak2i -> My acekard 2.1 does NOT have a window in the shell.

My acekard 2.1 looks exactly like this one:

Does anyone know if I can upgrade safely to 1.8 ?

It's just the v1.8.2 (and the fake v1.8.3) that could brick old AK 2.1s

Using v1.8.6a should be fine.
