Sidstation newbie troubles

2003-08-21 by V Silly

Hello folks,
I just bought a used Sidstation.

It is running OS 1.1.
I am using a Macintosh and my sequencer is Digital Performer.

When I start up the Sidstation I have blinking brackets around the word 
[Patch]

If I press Enter to try to go to the patches the brackets stop blinking 
and the sid is frozen and will not respond to any other buttons.

When I power on if I go to [System] and push enter it seems to respond 
normally.

The previous owner says all was working right up until he shipped it to 
me. He thought maybe I should try reloading the patches, but so far I 
cannot figure out how to do that. This is my first synth of this type.

Is it possible the data got corrupted in shipping?
The unit seems to be functional but seems to crash if I try to get into 
the patches...

Does anyone have a suggestion of what to do?

Thanks
-V
