Hmmm...

Since you are successfully uploading/downloading Sequences that would 
indicate that your MIDI setup (OMS, cables etc) are correct.

Since you sometimes get 70K transferred, that also indicates the OS file 
is good. (It would always fail immediately if the file was bad)

I have a MIDISport 2x2 and it has always worked fine for me. You should 
make sure you are using the latest MIDISport drivers (check the MIDIMan 
web site).

Do you have any other applications running while trying to do the 
download? If so, try quitting all applications during the download 
(Especially any other MIDI software, E-Mail programs or Web Browsers 
that tend to do stuff iin the background). A fresh boot of the Mac might 
help also.

What version of OS, and what version of Java are you using? (All of this 
information will be shown in the Message Console).

  What version of OS is currently in the XL-7? (shown when first powering 
up the unit)

Have you ever succeeded in doing an OS Download before with this setup?
