oXigen has always had some support for SSD, and you could use a controller-locked-on-lane-change to run an oXigen car on a D1XX track.
But there has never before been *native* support for SSD and D1XX built into the oXigen chips. Meaning a car with said chip can be placed on a D1XX track, or an SSD track, or an oXigen track, and be raced and controlled completely by that systems native components and software. It is also smaller than any previous oXigen chip (it fits in a DPR hatch!), and comes with two LEDs already in place- one for SSD, and one for D1XX.
oXigen has made huge inroads into the European club racing circuit (it almost *is* the digital branch), and has ever tighter integration with SSD, so it behooves Carrera to cooperate with Maurizio- or at least not fight him.
This is probably the most exciting bit of news for digital slots (and its future) that I can remember in the last 10 years.
