"BC MIDI Implementation.pdf" is at mntn-utils.110mb.com (which unfortunately is currently down - see my other post). However, in your specific case this document isn't much help anyway.

But have you looked at my message "Re: New BCF2000 Owner, Almost Totally Lost" (no. 1698, Sun Oct 19, 2008)? (Obviously, "Step 2" doesn't apply to your BCR.)

I'm a bit confused about what you're saying:
Have you actually used BC Manager to upload firmware vs. 1.10? If so, I'm a bit curious what happened, causing you to get "noOS" afterwards. Was the upload procedure somehow interrupted?

You may have to refer to the warning message in BC Manager's manual (section 8, under "MIDI -> Maintenance -> Send firmware") about the BCR's Operating Mode required during firmware upload.

When the BCR is in "noOS" mode, its USB connection doesn't work at all: you must then use a "standard" MIDI connection (e.g. to your computer's sound card) to upload the firmware.

   Mark.
