I'm pretty sure that you don't need to upgrade the s/w. If I'm wrong, someone will chime in.

You shouldn't loose existing programing when you power down to install the card, but do a backup....just in case.

I was told at one time that the MICS 6.1 would handle the 6 port exp cart plus a 2 port exp., but haven't verified it and am having a tough time believing it. 10/4 on the backup. Thanks.

No it will not.

You will need XC software to bring up the 2nd expansion card.
