- Basically have three series:
-
- 300/400
- 700
- 800
-
- (actually there is a 600, but that's another story)
-
- Aside from some binaries compiled on an 800 running on a 700 there is
- essentially no compatibility.
-
- The file systems and most files, however, are compatible, just not
- any executables.
