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

Please check out the faq section here, those things you ask are in 
there...new os, resetting to factory specs, etc. i found that faq 
section very useful when i was a new xx-7 owner. As far as the manual 
is concerned, i'm not sure what the deal is...anyone here know if the 
binder manual is packaged with new units only? so if you got a second 
hand unit w/out hard copy, your only option would be pdf? i got the 
manual w/ my unit so i am curious bout this...if ever i lost mine and 
wanted another hard copy.
