Yes, the H2O²r1 (Mk. 6) behaves in a completely different way than the H2O²r2 (Mk. 7).

I'd recommend looking at how Plato handles that, that's probably the most concise approach. Or you can read my rants about that scattered across the FBInk codebase, with the caveat that I only care about minor parts of the quirks, and that I'm not sure the uglier stuff (input) actually behaves since I don't have access to those devices.

And, yeah, pickel was recently updated (basically since the new spinner, so, 4.17 or something) with a new, simpler coordinates syntax. Which means I would *assume* it doesn't support the old syntax anymore, and older versions won't handle the new syntax.
Newer pickel variants also expect the various PLATFORM & co env vars to be set properly (which the default rcS does just fine, so that's only a concern if you use pickel on its own without a proper env setup), which wasn't always the case in (much) older FW versions.
