The DW-8000 editor/librarian made by Anthony Ruggieri (win 3.1) is still
a much better option than generic SysEx software, and it will run on
95/98/Me/2000/XP systems just fine. It allows you to do whole bank
transfers, as the DW8000 SysEx capability only allows for single patch
transfers (the software automatically loops 64 patch transfers by
itself, you'd have to code that yourself or do it manually using a
generic SysEx utility).
Also the DW8000 does not have DCOs or VCOs, it's purely digital
oscillators (DOs, if you will) or single-cycle SAMPLED waveforms.
