I too have bought some as spares with both codes on them. I haven't tried them yet. I believe Guzzi also used them. Some fine day, I plan to swap out each one on my shelf and see if there is any power difference, or if it even runs. I know the one on my bike does not respond to vacuum changes any more, so I have blocked that off. So I am guessing I am missing out on a few degrees of advance at higher RPM. Some day I will spring for a replacement box, but my Digiplex hasn't died yet. Cheers, |

probably the difference relates to the mapping inside there is an Eprom with the mapping records, but to swap the chips it will be difficult beacuse i recall them being soldered and covered in black resin. |

A friend of mine showed me differrent mapping for this unit (Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Ferrari, Guzzi, Ducati) and told me that it's easy to remap a new eprom, but it's hard to know wich one you need (8bit or 16 bit) |

One more question about the Digiplex 2S box. Does the vacuum tube actually do anything? I would suspect that it advances the timing as it would on other vehicles. But, when I hook up a vacuum pump to it, nothing happens. I started the bike, and tried the vacuum at idle, no response. I tried it again at 2k and 3k. No change. Could be my box is no longer functioning correctly, or the vacuum line to the intakes is just a ruse by Italian engineers. Anybody confirm or deny that the vacuum line does anything? Cheers, |

The large black unit with 3 screws and the number 2 stamped on it is the vacuum control unit for the spark advance. You can verify its function with a pump and timing light and 3 hands

I guess I'll open up my box and see what's inside. I assume that there is some form of diaphragm. I can't imagine a 20 year old diaphragm working so well anymore. May need to be upgraded. Cheers, |
