Patches and discussion for Ensoniq VFX family

Richard,

Thanks for the follow-up.

I sent the email to the aol address listed on the installation instructions, not the route66studios emial address - my bad.

I've resent the email along with a related email on another matter regarding the order.

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Jon

I've posted a question to Route 66 Studios, but expect it may be some days before I receive a reply. When I have the new EPROMs installed and power on the unit - all I have is a dark display with no prompt to reinitialize the unit.
