Subtle but distinct difference here.  EV67 introduced additional instructions that as I stated and Volker also stated are not the issue here.  But... it is important to note that if AXPbox is a true EV6 implementation, there is the possibility that an EV67 code base COULD fail because of a missing instruction encoding.  Again, not likely in code that would allow the system to boot properly in any case.
