I searched hi and lo for 2.30 and only found them at R66 but no response from there.
Over time I\u2019ve backed up eproms on several old instruments I have because technically all those old UV-erasables were typically expected/rated to have 20-30 year data retention. Would be sad to have that be the cause of an instrument stop working \u2013 it is the one thing that can be stored, reprogrammed back, compared to lots of other hard to find IC devices then when they go they really are gone\u2026
Someone probably has 2.30 on their VFX but finding them and arranging to \u2018borrow\u03361; the chips to get the data is the trick.

VFX crackles and Rotary Speaker Error 32
I've seen 2.10 only here:
or here:
Try to make 2.10 Eproms, if it worked before, it should work again. Or the problem is not in OS.
What about your friend's VFX - which OS?
Such old instruments also need more maintenance - reseating all IC's in sockets, changing electrolytic (and tantalum) caps minimally in PSU, checking and cleaning all connectors, changing EL foil in LCD (if any) or whole display...
Good luck!

I´ve replaced the battery and the Error 32 seems to be solved ... strange, both rotary speaker DSP algorithms seems to work OK now.
The envelope pops persist ... seems to be an OS problem in my opinion. I have unfortunately no chance to check the same sounds on a different machine (my friend´s VFX-SD broke yesterday .... no sound output at all).
Anyway does anybody have the image of the OS 2.30 EPROMs. Route66 have not responsed to my mail order :( I can make the EPROMs myself, but I do not have the bin files.
