Partner ACS R7, and ACS R3 question.

[aarenot]

I have a customer who bought their system, and cards from an online seller. They were told they can use an ACS R5 or R6 308 processor as a 308EC. They were told just put it into a regular non-processor slot, and it will act like a 308EC. I have never heard of this. They intend to put a 509 processor, 308 processor(as a 308EC), 012, and partner mail in a 5 slot.
Anyone ever heard of doing this? I told him, I had not heard of this but would check some sources and get back. It is supposed to implement next week.

Their vendor is nuts

That was my original thought, but I do not know everything, so I told the guy I would make inquiries. Now I did, and it is as I thought, their vendor needs to pass that left handed cigarrette, and not take so many hits himself.
I was pretty sure this was crazy, but did not want to tell my customer that. I told him I would seek some info on this, so now I am not a liar.

Okay if you thought about it you could answer the question yourself. On all processors Partner Plus & Partner II all releases and ACS R1-R7 are all the same. The card's edge are to big to fit in any other slot. They only fit in slot 3 on 5 slot carriers (Any release) and Slot 1 on the ACS/Endever 2 slot carriers. ACS cards will not fit in the Partner 2 slot carrier.
End of story.

Magix cards do not fit in a Legend either, and I had not heard of the clam shell until I saw one. I do see your point though, I thought it was highly unlikely. I did say I would inquire about it to the customer before I even thought about it. Now when I say I checked into it, I am not lying. Thanks for your responses.
