Exactly the other way around.
Switch-8 works with any DCC system, it simply connects to track power and tacks DCC commands over the track. I have a couple of Switch-Its I've used before on my Digitrax system.
The mini-panel is NCE only, since it plugs in to the cab bus.

Randy,
Thanks. Guess I'm DCC-dyslexic, too.

Now that raises an interesting question. If the Mini Panel works by plugging it into the cab bus, what do I do if I am running my wireless NCE PH-Pro ?

Plug it into the other jack of the cab panel - at least, current sets come with the command station, a cab panel, and the radio base.
Interesting how so many NCE items only have 1 cab bus jack and not a second to act as a pass-through for other items.
Randy, when I went wireless, I kept the UTP panels already in place on my layout.
Could I just plug the Mini Panel into one of the nearby UTP panels
Yup.
How did you hook up your Switch-8 with your Digitrax system?

Same way people with NCE use Digitrax DS-64's - the input is track power, not the cab bus. Any DCC system capable of sending accessory commands can use the three NCE turnout controls, or the DS-64, or any number of other products like the Lenz LS150, or the Tam Valley servo controllers. None of those does anything specific to any one brand of DCC (well, the DS-64 CAN, but doesn't have to).
