I imagine it was Port 1 which I'm pretty sure is the USB port? I wonder if the other ports correspond to other MIDI interfaces on your system... sorry I'm being so vague. From what I understand, you can't really "brick" your device via non-firmware SysEx activities, so I wouldn't stress too much about it.
Also, Steve's idea about just using BCManager to create sysex files is excellent and one that didn't really occur to me, because I was also trying to use his manager for the Roland D5, for which instant feedback is indeed more crucial...!

I was feeling a bit bitter about the world today until I saw your kind responses. Thanks for that. Yes, I did try running bcmanager through Wine, but it cannot detect the unit, probably due to a usb midi driver or something like that. John, so you're saying that I can use os x to run vmware, to run linux, to run wine to run the windows version of bcmanager? That sounds like quite a lot! When you use sysex librarian, what port do you choose for the bcr? Does it make a difference if you choose port 1, 2, or 3?
Thanks again!!!
