Hmm actually I was loading a EX-800 factory bank-lights flashed, midi 
ox progress bar went fine. Pretty much assumed all went well. Went to 
send a small bank of some user patches for the EX and nothing seems 
to change.

So I *may* have been 100 percent wrong to assume...

the data dump for the EX is F0 42 21 01 10 F7
(see http://www.geocities.com/sunsetstrip/studio/3507/ex800info2.html)
