08M 08M2

I found an older code setup for the 08M and it will not load onto the 08M2. What is the differents and can the code be modified to work on the 08M2?

The code compiled without error for me having changed the "#picaxe 08m" directive to "#picaxe 08m2" so is that the issue having not made that change, or is it something else ?

I will try that when I get home but the error I was seeing indicated a hardware mis-match when I tried to program the chip.

That would be correct as the programmer directive as mentioned by hippy tells the programmer to ONLY download to an 08M part.
The programming editor checks the PICAXE chip type prior to download hence you will see an error message about hardware mismatch until you change the directive to #PICAXE 08M2.

EDIT:
You can read more about the #PICAXE xxxx directive on the Rev Ed PICAXE website here: http://www.picaxe.com/BASIC-Commands/Directives/hash-picaxe/
(also see 8 page in PICAXE manual 2)

Yep, that was the porblem! Sorry, still learning. I was always told , the only stupid question is the one you dont ask!
