ComputerCraft version: 1.62 / Creative Single Player (untested in other play modes)

Description:
Standard turtles are unable to equip wireless modems, although Advanced turtles are able to equip them. When attempting to equip a standard turtle with a wireless modem (via turtle.equipLeft() or turtle.equipRight()) an error to the effect of "Not a valid upgrade" is returned and the wireless modem is not equipped.

Steps to reproduce:
via Lua, attempt to equip a wireless modem on a standard turtle with turtle.equipLeft() or turtle.equipRight()

They also when they leave a chunk will error out with no modem on (side) but there is and it will not start back up.

Have you guys tried the prerelease version yet? Check the Beta Testing section, and if you're still having trouble with it, make a bug report there, so it can get fixed right away.

I can't replicate either report under 1.63pre1.

I seem to remember Dan responded to a tweet about someone equipping the modems…

It does, indeed, seem to be fixed in 1.63pr1. Thanks, all!
