Program Porting

I have another question to post here: If I am trying out programs for a DL205 with a DL250 CPU (NOT a 250-1), how difficult would it be to port that program to a DL06? As I mentioned a while back in this forum, I'm tinkering with DirectSoft100 right now (successfully I might add!), and before I go off an purchase the software, I wanted to find out as much as I could ahead of time. If I need to re-program everything when I connect a DL06, I don't want to waste time and program things twice. Any insight would be most appreciative!

    It shouldn't be too bad. I believe (don't quote me though) that the DL06 supports all the instructions present in a DL250 (actually, I think it supports more.) It would be benefitial to pay attention to what Vmems you use. The available ranges may not match exactly between processors. I would try to use Vmems that are in the available ranges for both processors. Things like option module setup will need attention when converting too.
