Is there much of a difference? I have a 4020 that has a bad 1010-6A board and another 4020 that needs a ballscrew and that one has a 1010-4A board. Anyone know if they would interchange?

Thanks!

Yes

What is the difference between a 1010-4A and a 1010-6A board? I see the reman price between the two is a big difference and if they interchange.....Then why not go with the cheaper board? There must be something that I am missing here....

Depending on the axis your EEprom software may not work with other cards well in the system. So you cant run a 1400-4 system with -5 or -6 cards and you cannot run the older 1010-4 (pre 92 eeprom softwares) with a 1400-5. The 1400-5 or any 1400 board is the main CPU. You will know it when you make a swap and nothing works.

I currenly use the 1010 series boards. I just didn't know if there was a big change between a 1010-4A and a 1010-6A board. I can get one for $290 reman and the other is $790 reman. if they're the same, then logic would tell me that I could pick up the cheaper reman board, and swap over my EPROMS over correct?

-4 uses eeproms in u7 and u10 designations on the board. -5 uses a different placing. You cannot mix and match them it will not work. So -4 eeproms can go to -4 boards and -5 to -5.
