The Yamaha AN1x Synthesizer mailing list

Two thoughts - you might want to reread what Bruce said. He 
mentions the reliability Win98SE not XP. If /when you go to XP it's 
a whole new ball game with XP.

2nd, successful bulk dumps are not indicative of much as there 
is NO error checking whatsoever - it's strictly hit or miss. You 
might want to reread some of the recent discussion regarding 
the packet size of SysEx strings from the AN1x to better 
appreciate why these problems occur. AN1x SysEx is a hog!
