More help for Sound Designer Newbie.

2008-11-04 by jmp701

Hi. I've spent some time recently getting my head around this program
and soundbank transfers to EII etc. but to date have been unable to
communicate with the E2 using the program installed on a Powerbook
150. I know this isn't listed as compatible in the database so I have
a Mac SE on the way which I hope to have more success with. 

However, after reading the Sound Designer troubleshooting manual, I
may have another issue to resolve? The manual states that some Rev 1's
have not had necessary modifications carried out at the factory,
specifically: 

1. The trace leading to the end of R48 closest to the back panel being
cut. This hasn't been done on my EII.

2. The trace going to lC132, pin 10 is to be cut (?) Whilst I can
see this chip to extract, how do I know which is Pin 10? According to
the manual I have to bend this pin up and re-seat it, but I'm very
reluctant to cause damage when I'm not sure what I am doing.  

Can someone reassure me that I definately need to do both of these
measures (?) and how to identify pin 10 (which presumably leads from
underneath the chip). 

For info I have a Rev 1 logic board with Version 2.1 EPROMS plus OS
2.3 and 3.1 disks for use in the EII. I've also ensured MIDI is on in
OMNI mode with no MIDI cable attached.  

Thanks for any help you can provide.
