Re: [prophet2000] ROM upgrade and forced output mode?

2007-08-02 by John Pallister

I don't know offhand what OS my 2002+ has, but it does have 
the individual outputs, so assuming it has the latest 
version, I could pull the chips, read them and post the 
binary file(s). But first I have to assemble my EPROM 
programmer kit, and it'll be a week or two before I get 
around to that (very busy with work blah blah).

I've already promised to read the ROMs from my Wavestation 
A/D and send them to someone called Tom, so you'll be number 
two in the queue. ;)

What do people think of the ethics of "ripping" 20-year-old 
synth firmware & posting/sending it (without charging 
anything, of course)? In this case Wine Country might 
actually have a license to the code, but I suspect that 
other places I've seen don't (e.g. Route 66 Studios selling 
the final JX-10 firmware). Maybe I'll ask this question on AH...

Cheers,

John :^P
