Touchscreen controllers?

Post 2007 it appears you can use any 3m exII serial/usb controller. I noticed a week ago i was playing around with Jade and 2005.5 Force software and some exII controllers dont work. Specifically the ones without the Novram cable. The software doesnt error as it would if you tried to use a elo or other controller, it just doesnt respond as if there is no drivers loaded. What is puzzling me is that all versions of the drivers for linux and win seem to support both versions with/without Novram.

Have any of you guys tried other 3m controllers or elo controllers with version pre or post 2007?

use caution...

trying to use an ION 2007 harddrive/software with the black SMT-4 controller MAY corrupt the firmware on the controller.

there was a glitch with the software that read the newer controller's firmware version incorrectly thinking it was the white controller with old firmware, resulting in the system trying to update the firmware and corrupting it.

i believe this was fixed in 2008+ versions.

mahkeymike:
So the software itself contains firmware and a flasher? I have not noticed this inside any directories. Do you know what the flashing utility is called? I know there is development utilitys from 3m but you need to have a business account to access them.

lilshawn:
They may have written something for themselves. I know some later versions of ION also contain BIOS updates and will boot up, detect an outdated BIOS version and update it.

i think 2012 or 2013 has a bios update for the intel "littlefalls" BIOS to update it.

they must get SDK's from the manufacturers to roll their own because it's seamless as fuuuu.

mahkeymike:
I wonder if 2013 and 2014 let you use a SMT-3 just like 2011 and 2012 ION do. They either removed the controller check on purpose or by mistake. But im leaning toward purpose because i patched out the controller error on an earlier version and it booted into the game but i got no reponce from the SMT-3 controller which means it was removed from driver module. But must have been added back in 2011/2012 ION for some reason.
