Do not use v1.8x,... there was glitch in it where, if you tried to update later from there, you have a 50/50 chance
of locking up the program board (bricking it), making it non functional.
At that point, I would have less than a 50/50 chance of bringing that board back to life with the tools I have here at Line 6.
So Do not use v1.8x.
