Bc2000 (for the BCF2000 & BCR2000)

Yes! , yes they are!
This morning I marked with a sharpie the usb connector on the BCR2000 board with an R and opened a BCF2000 and marked the usb connector F. (Aren't I clever).
That's when I saw it. A ground strap from the screw that holds the cpu board down closest to the usb port to the usb port itself. - No kiddin. The 3 BCR2000s that I have have no such grounding strap from the usb connector to chassis ground. I keep compromising them with what only I can presume is static. We live at 9800 feet up in the mountains where the humidity is around zero and you get shocked off everything we touch.
Anyway I thought that telling, as I have never had one of my 4 bcf2000s fail in the years I have had them.

I proceeded to swap the EPROM chips after marking them as well and put the BCF2000 board in the BCR2000 that was exhibiting "Unknown Device' in device manager. I readied device manager and powered up the BCR2000 with the BCF's cpu board in it. Not only did it post normally, but device manager found a BCR2000! - have the behringer driver installed. - Hurray! 

Now to see if the BCF2000 will work as if had been in MIDI mode (S-1) and mackie emulation as I like it.
I put the BCR2000 board in the BCF and hooked it up to my MidiSport 2x2. I powered it up and the display said McSo as it should in Mackie Emu mode. Also the faders all reset as expected too. So I started Sonar and added a Mackie control surface on the midi ports and ya know, it works! BC mode works too.
So aside from some esoteric config that may be troublesome, this swapperoo is a success!
I am going to add the ground strap to my bcr2000s while they're open.

    Before you do swap are you able to reflash the eeproms of the damaged units?It does sound like program corruption.
