My two Zilla's came with two different hairballs, one was wired into a Hepa Pedal and the other Pot meter switch. Are Hairballs universal or are they internally wired differently for these two types of inputs? 


The hairballs are different inside. I suppose you have to talk to Otmar as I have no clue how to upgrade or downgrade from one input to the other. I can say the regular hairball uses the 2 wire 0-5k ohm pot box connection that the Curtis controller uses.
I have not tried, but I'm pretty sure you can. The settings are saved even if all power is removed from the Hairball so settings won't be lost. Some individual settings can only be done in the proper mode, you have to apply power to the valet pin to change those settings. I just use one of the Palm's that Otmar modified to have a terminal program installed (an older B&W Palm with a real serial port.)Can you program the Hairball (out of car) if connected to 12v and computer?

don't be that smug, he may not have a real eiaa standard addressable serial port that the latest windows can actually use.Gotta love having people with money aroundGotta laugh (just a little) when they buy a $500 computer to do a job easily handled by an old PDA.
