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

I know how frustrating it can be. Ive had plenty days like that
myself. Im not sure about that error message but did you say you also
have the USB hooked up? Just curious if that could have something to
do with it as Ive read that currently eloader doesnt support using USB
to update the OS. In the FAQ in the file section it says this

"In order to use the USB port, you need to have the latest version of
E-Loader installed on your PC computer (currently there is no USB
driver available for Mac computers). Also, keep in mind that you
CANNOT use the USB ports to update the OS currently, only Patterns and
Songs can be stored and transferred via the USB port."


Beyond this I am limited as Im still new. I wish you the best and hope
you get it working.
