Nope. As far as I can recall, EVERYTHING that was in CM8000 is also in CM9000. Well, actually, that's not ENTIRELY true. We did remove a few of the personalities that we felt were either silly or redundant. And we also removed a few of the boards and piece sets that were starting to look rather old (and rather bad, compared to the True3D sets). Other than those, all of the previous content and feature set is still there. jm
