Looking for Sequencer OS for a VFXsd with v1.37 EPROMs

Looking for Sequencer OS for a VFXsd with v1.37 EPROMs

2011-01-09 by eljipe@rocketmail.com

Hi All,

Just bought a VFXsd. Holding 'preset' button and pressing 'master' button shows ROM version 1.37 and KPC ROM v2.20.

Attempting to load the Sequencer OS disk v2.10 results in an 'incompatible seq os version' message.

If anyone has a VFXOS13x.EDV file, could (s)he add it in the files section, thank!

I'm also considering upgrading the VFXsd EPROMs to latest version (v2.00 I think), compatible with v2.10 Sequencer OS.
Has anyone performed such upgrade?...Who still suplies these EPROMs chips ?

As I have the hardware to erase and reprogram the two 27C256 EPROMs chips, a binary dump from the 2 EPROMs (Hi and Lo memory dumps) would also do the job.

Many Thanks!
EJ

Is it just that simple to do the upgrade? Is the EPROM socketed?

They were socketed on my SD-1. Just a simple swap, and load the updated disks.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
