Re: [foxboro] I/A V8.0 Rev B software installation on Stand Alone System

If you are doing it to create a standalone AW, it will work.

Otherwise, I would not count on the networking to work properly. We use a
customized Ethernet driver to ensure redundant networking and that requires
the correct NIC. 

There may be other issues, but generally that is the major one.


Hope this helps.
