If I upgrade a StarTalk Flash 1.7 to 2.0, will I loose all the programming?

So, all the programming stays in the flash itself and not in the pcmcia card?

Does anyone know if there's a table of all the changes between versions? Our expanded Flash is running ver. 1.9.0 on our 8x24 DR5.1 I've got a 2.0.10 card here out of another Startalk Flash, and I'm wondering what's new, or if there are any valid reasons for me to upgrade?
So far the only thing I've noticed is that the CLID report is always empty, even though we have working CLID on all our trunks. Is this a flaw in v1.9.0?

Well I was bored so I went ahead with the upgrade. Smooth as butter. Since I had so much fun finding the instructions, I thought I'd post it again here.
I followed the steps in Post #2 here
To perform a StarTalk Flash software upgrade:
Open the module front door.
Remove the teladapt cord(s) from the teladapt line jack(s) inside the StarTalk Flash module. Important: This step must be completed to avoid any possible loss of configuration or programming information.
Wait one minute before proceeding to the next step.
[/color blue]I had a connection to the serial port, so I waited until I saw "!! Unable to start flashtalk,Please check port and TCM connections"
Unplug the AC power to the StarTalk Flash module.
Remove the current PCMCIA ROM card.
Insert the new PCMCIA ROM card into the slot provided on the StarTalk Flash module.
Re-insert the teladapt cord(s) into the teladapt line jack(s) inside the StarTalk Flash module.
Plug the AC power back into the StarTalk Flash module.[/color blue]
Everything came up right away. I didn't have to do any of that extra stuff in the 3rd post. All the programming and CCR trees were still in place. The only thing I've noticed is that I don't get a ton of alarm messages like I used to. And yes, it only took me 3 minutes.

Weird how it broke the link, and I can't seem to edit. Anyways, I want to give credit where credit is due. I originally found that info in thread799-675217
