Sonos 1 vs Sonos 2

Hi, I have just been given a Roam as a gift to add to my existing Sonos suite.  I have the older technology (Play 3 and Play 5) using Sonos 1.  From what I am reading it appears I cannot link the 2 together.  To use the Roan I have to be on Sonos 2, but if I upgrade to Sonos 2 are my Play 3 and Play 5 speakers rendered useless?

The PLAY:3 is S2 compatible, many PLAY:5s are as well, although not the first generation.

Many people run both operating systems, S1 and S2, in the same home. The only thing precluded is the ability to group speakers from the two operating systems together.  All devices running S1 will continue to run S1 and there would be no changes to them. They would not be rendered useless.
