Yikes!

Okay, I bought the box for its sounds rather than sequencing, but I've been
suckered in by the nifty interface and have put a LOT of patterns in there.

And I was just getting around to doing my own presets.


If you'll pardon my ghoulish interest, what version of the operating system
were you on?  And what were you doing just as the thing crashed?  A pattern
save?  Anything funky, MIDI-wise?



Also, this shows WHY we need a decent host-machine-based patch
editor/librarian for this beast!

And some sort of full system backup would be nice, too.  I mean, something
that when loaded back onto a virgin system would put you back exactly where
you were.  (Assuming you have the same ROMs in the same positions.)  It
wouldn't have to be pretty, just a pair of buttons within Eloader.
