Hi Vangelis !
if it was me i should not worry about an OS update if everything is OK.
The new revs correct only minor bugs (blinkering leds on some patches,
too early "battery low" etc...). Change your battery, check if
everything works...
I have no longer access to an EEPROM programmer at work, because it was
discarded. I did not knew they wanted to throw it away ... OK it's an
old technology , but for maintenance purposes ... i guess they should
buy a new one if necessary.
For the sound patches you can cut, copy, paste ..;etc.. in AN1x edit, to
edit a complete sound bank, or you can load an individual patch in any
memory location of your synth. AN1x edit is downloadable for free .
Possible issues come with the latest Win. revisions (Vista or Seven) or
with some USB - Midi interfaces, likely those who need a specific driver
software, but not all of them. Strange indeed. I use personnaly a very
simple Prodipe 1 i/o "interface" (let's say "cable") successfully, with
any of my instruments. OK it's a very basic one, but perfect for up or
down loading patches or sequences.
Cheers.
J.F.
P.S.: For Windows revision troubles you can go to "properties", then
"compatibility mode" and choose and older windows (95, 98, 2000 etc..)
type, a lower screen definition and so on . It could work....
