I'm guessing at a compatibility issue between my fairly old rev 0.9 EC2 board and the new chip / software. Tracy is going to ship me a replacement board as soon as he gets back from Sun & Fun.

Didn't Tracy have your whole EC-2?  Seems it would have had it's incompatibility when he was testing it.  Face it, you're cursed :-)
 
As for the autotune EM-2 chip, I may not be the best candidate for testing either.  As you recall, I'm using an FJO wideband O2 meter, and feeding the "legacy 0-1V" output to the EM-2.  Tracy was curious to know what the actual AFR was when the EM-2 just goes off the bottom of the scale.  Saturday, I turned my mixture knob all the way down, and saw as low as 16.8 AFR, but the EM-2 still showed 3 bars.  I'm thinking the FJO is reformatting it's 10-20 range over the 0-1V scale, rather than duplicating the old O2 effective range of 13-16 (just guessing at the range).   I'll have to ask FJO about this.  If that is how it's working, it may or may not cause a problem with Tracy's autotune feature.  I'll ask him when I find out how the output works from FJO.
