So when I boot the rx2600 motherboard in my zx6000 chassis via serial it reports:  "2.31 - rx2600/zx2000/zx6000 System Firmware"   Later the specific versions are SFW 2.31 BMC 01.53 MPE E.03.30).

I found what I *think* is the last zx2000/zx6000 firmware (CPEAKSYS0231 - 2.31/1.52) but when I boot it it asks if I want to update my rx2600 to 2.31/1.52.

The two versions I found that are supposedly for the rx2600 are CPEAKSYS0231A and CPEAKSYS0231C.

I was really hoping I could turn this rx2600 board into a 100% backup for my original zx6000 board but maybe not?  Info welcomed.
