It sounds like you don't have a good MIDI connection from the Computer 
to the Device. All of your information indicates that data is getting 
from the Device to the Computer, but not vice versa.

Are you sure you have connected both your Input and Output cable MIDI 
cables correctly and have selected the correct MIDI Input and Output 
ports in the E-Loader Device Configuration dialog?

If you choose 'Show Available MIDI Devices' in the MIDI menu, does the 
XL-7 show up? That test requires bidirectional MIDI communication so if 
things don't work in that test, they won't work for the OS Download.

What king of computer, what version of OS and what Java version are you 
running? My guess is that you are running Windows ME, which is where we 
have seen the most problems.
