I finally have set up the Multiswitch as Shoggy recommended with AQ 6XT. Here was my procedure: ( At the end is my questions)
1. Loaded Aquasuite 2014 - 2.3 to PC.
2. Plugged in AC 6 XT using USB connection to MB and loaded no issues. Also loaded current Firmware 1036. Went well .
3. Removed AC 6XT and plugged Multiswitch to MB with USB. Windows loaded drivers, great. Note there was no Firmware update loaded nor did Aquasuite prompt to update Firmware
4. Reconnected AC 6 XT, and connected the Multiswitch via the Aquabus low speed plug on the AC 6 XT. Note: Jumper No. 5 was closed.
5. Booted up system. Aquaero runs just great. Aquasuite however shows no indication of the extra Switch Outputs & Relays within the "Outputs" portion of the Aquaero 6XT menu tab.

It should be noted that I connected one LED to the first plug (pins 1 &2) on the Multiswitch after a few attempts and there was not a difference in outcome on the Aquasuite Outputs tab as well. I also was very careful to power down and unplug the PC every time I switched plugs and added hardware items.
So if you have any suggestions, please help; that would be great. I am wondering why I can not get at least the Switch Outputs and Relays showing up as active. Also note I have 2 Ea.- MultiSwitch's and I get identical results, or should I say lack of results for each . Ultimately I want to confirm I can get the electronics working before I complete my system wiring and Aquacomputer system installation. Alternatively I may scrap the whole Multiswitch efforts entirely, but not without a strong effort put forth.

Thanks for your help (Sorry Shoggy, had to get some dialog started to this issue)
