Which tools are you referring to, Allison?
I've found that the tools I once used with the old (pre-1990) 2064's, don't
work with the 3000-series, and, though I have some 3000-series parts (which,
back when I bought them, cost about $200 each) I've not figured out a way to
program them using the old XACT or the more recent "Foundation" software.
They clearly are no longer supported with current software.
