Korg DW8000, Mono/Poly, MS-20...

Well, I've just about given up. I've tried the TAPE reloading as the 
manual explains, and it's not hearing anything, no matter what the 
source of the sound is -- I've used different volume levels, 
different known-working cables -- no luck. SysEx loading of patches 
doesn't work, either, but I've only tried using one DW8000 software 
that looks like it was coded for Win 3.1.

I think the contacts might not be in such good shape. Any suggestions 
on cleaning / replacing 'em? And anybody got any good DW8000 SysEx 
software?
