Hi Gino,

No, the 1.03 - or more recent 1.04 ROM - will not address this issue. 
The SysEx files from the AN1x are large in size relative to other 
hardware synthesizers and have always been touch and go when 
performing a bulk dump via USB.  But based on our past conversations 
and my recent experiences with a MT4 and OS X (10.2.6 - now running 
10.2.8) I'm surprised your are having problems with SD 3.1.

I've recently tested bulk dumps under 10.2.6 using SysEx Librarian 
http://www.snoize.com/ and MIDI Dump Utility 
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/mpergand/ with my AN1x.  Both applications 
worked fine - I found SysEx Librarian to be the easier of the two to 
configure and run. If you haven't tried it yet I would suggest you 
give it a go just to determine whether the problem is specific to SD 
3.1 or not.  I haven't run either since upgrading to 10.2.8 but my 
recent experience with 10.2.8 is a major improvement over my last try.

Feel free to email me offline if you need to. I still haven't made 
time to download SD but I have ordered my Logic Pro upgrade :-P so 
I'll get around to this sooner or later.

regards,

Jon
