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

So, I just opened up the machine and rechecked the connections.  I 
also relocated the sound rom to another ram slot, just to see if that 
would make a difference.  Additionally, I am trying to reload OS 2 
for completeness sake, although I am still getting these rather 
annoying errors where the download just fails with no rhyme or 
reason.  I will keep posting results of my diff. experiments here for 
your perusal.  If nothing else, it might be valuable info to have for 
future owners of this machine.  I am totally resolved in owning a 
stable xl-7 come hell or high water.

Yeah man, sounds like you may have a bum unit or something.  Most of us 
have nothing but stable use since OS2, so I don't think it's an OS issue 
in your case.  What kind of problems are you still seeing?

It really sounds like you have a bad machine.  If the OS loads *at all*
it is good.  It checksums every packet it downloads as well as
checksumming the whole OS.  Intermittent failures that go away
temporarily by reseating chips indicates a hardware problem.

Where did you buy it?  Do you have some sort of warrantee?

Well, I bought it from a company off of ebay, which I admit is a 
risky situation, but one that usually works out for me.  They do, 
however, have a 7 day money back deal, so I emailed today asking 
about that.  It would be really nice if they just had another machine 
they could send me as a replacement, since I am deadset on owning 
this machine.  All my engineering friends here at school have all 
said the same thing, that it's a hardware issue.

Frustrating,

I hope this does work for you!  I purchased my MP-7 on E-bay.  I love it and
have had no trouble with it yet!  Hold the E-bay seller accountable.  Let us
know how it turns out!

Hi Rev,

I am glad that you didn't get the bum deal I got, and I hope your mp-
7 continues to work flawlessly.  It's all right tho, because the 
seller just got back to me saying sorry and to send it back for a 
full refund, so it's all good.  It just makes me mad because I got 
this thing for $400, which is a hard price to find this unit for.  
Ahh well, if anyone is selling theirs or knows where i can get one 
for 400 (either the xl-7 or mp-7 will do), I would appreciate you 
letting me know.

thanks guys and I will keep you posted!

- Nick
