There is no such thing as software compatibility on transistors.
AND, guess what? Transistors is delivered in differed packagings! :O Marvellous?
you even get high power transistors as surface mounted! Obviously, those high power escs do have surface mounted fets (doh!).
And on that blatant personal attack and show of incompetence on your side, im ending my part on whats looking to be a less constructive debate, just ass fast as it started.
Hint: Dont argue with an engineer, its like wrestling with a pig. The pig is stronger, everyone gets dirty, and the pig enjoys it.
I got no idea what you are, but something tells me than an electric engineer wont speak of software compatibility on transistors, so obviously you arent one!
