Re: OS Rom library

Also they're probably not as "desirable" as the actual sound ROMs
so hopefully they won't appear for sale on ebay...

Eproms can become corrupted and without a backup of the OS you are stuffed, and as the average age of this gear gets older, the likelihood of failure increases. Any thoughts?
