Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

Hmm, definitely sounds like something is wrong with the machine, but I 
would try the OS install one more time just to be sure.  If it's saying 
the OS update went ok, then I don't think it's a transmission error, the 
checksum would probably catch that.  Also, because you bought this used 
and probably had it shipped, I would open it up real quick (very easy, 
only 8 screws on the bottom) and make sure all the cables and roms are 
seated fully.  If that doesn't work, then you may have to claim a DOA, or 
if it's still under warrenty send it to Emu for repairs.

I don't think it's something to do with the data being transferred too 
fast, or else you would get error messages during the install.

So, I decided to try to download os 2 again, and that time around 
things looked more promising.  However, The unit is back to locking, 
giving me strange errors, and generally being an expensive paper-
weight.

With all of these factors, it seems like something is going wrong in 
the OS download process between the xl-7 and my PC, perhaps with the 
MIDI data transferring too fast or something.  This is a really 
strange, extremely frustrating issue that I would really love to 
resolve.  I have used this box before, and I can easily say it is one 
of the greatest pieces of gear ever.  The sounds are stellar, the 
sequencer is one of a kind, etc.  I have 6 days  more to report DOA 
to the person who sold it to me for a full refund, so I would love to 
get this fixed before then.  Here are the specs on everything I am 
using:

Windows XP
Roland UM-2 midi interface
E-Loader 1.1

I really don't know what else I should put on that list.  If anyone 
can help me it would be greatly appreciated, and thanks again for 
your time!
