VFX (not SD) OS and effects noise problems

2006-01-28 by b1114p

Sorry if I missed this elsewhere on the forum messages...

I'm interested in locating OS binaries (Hi and Lo) for various 
versions of the VFX OS.

I purchased a VFX which came with 1.7 and (because of my own 
stupidity) managed to ruin the Hi EPROM.  The unit seemed to have a 
problem when the 8 stage chorus effect was loaded.

I downloaded 2.1 from Ranier Buchty's site, but now have extreme but 
sporadic glitching in the effects section.  The problem manifests 
itself as digital noise in the reverb (lots of clicking, static type 
noise).

Anyway, I guess my questions at this time revolve around 2 separate 
issues:

- Anyone with 1.7 or 2.3 OS binaries or who can read them off their 
EPROMs.
 
- Anyone else experience trashed out effects and is the problem 
recoverable (maintenance or tweaking) or is the board now just trash.

Thanks!

Ben
