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

Thanks for the info and your suggestions. I will try calling 
Creative/Emu to see if they have it. However based on yesterday's 
experience, I am not sure I will be able to reach anyone who knows 
anything serious about E-Mu gear. (Wish I could get the software to do 
it myself!) BTW, I am a few thousand miles away from the bay area.

As for the bad CRC error, I get the same problem in all slots in 2 
different units. I took someone's suggestion and tried cleaning the 
contacts. That didn't help. 

The original problem may have stemmed from my putting the ROM in my 
E5000 a few months ago. 

I have put it back in the E5000, so all is not lost. As of now the 
former P2500 Composer 32mb ROM still has 15.9mb of EOS samples/presets 
that also support the Ultra E-Synth presets. In fact, it shows up in 
the Ultra as EROM V1.3. Could I have somehow reprogrammed it in the 
Ultra?

From the above description, does it sound like reflashing the baby 
flash (if it can be done with the SIMMMaster3000-assuming it still 
exists) might get get my ROM back to the way it was?

Again, thanks for the info and suggestions.

proclaiming its SIMMmasterness.

a different machine (of course, presuming you have a different machine 
to try it in)?  Perhaps a local user or store might have a P2K or XL-7 
class machine?
