Call Yamaha Customer Assistance and I'll wager they'll provide 
the missing CDROM for a fee.

XGWorks is NOT free - this is commercial software from 
Yamaha. The missing CD from your AN200 should include 
plug-in's that XGWorks will accomodate to provide 
editing/librarian functions for the AN200 and PLG150-AN 
daughter cards. There is a demo version of XGWorks available 
from Yamaha.

You will find stand alone editors for the PLG150 card at the 
XGFactory website http://www.xgfactory.com/ on the downloads 
page. Furthermore, the freeware editor/librarian AN1xEdit also 
works with the PLG150-AN/AN200 units.

See above.
