Hi, is the protect switch on the back set to off?

I'm able to do dumps of the bank that's already in there and I now have backups of the data from both programs (Midiquest's is proprietary).  And when I open a patch in Midiquest, I'm able to change the parameters in the patch and change the sounds.  I haven't tried saving the changes yet . . . .

 both TRS and RCV set to "on" with the proper channels for each.  I select transfer from the program, but nothing happens.  No error messages either.  What am I missing?  My machine has OS v. 1.0.

So I used that patch to experiment with, knowing a copy was elsewhere in machine memory.  Somehow, though, and I don't know when or how, patch 1 in bank A was accidentally overwritten -- by "Jupiter".  So now I have three copies.  So I was able to upload at least one patch; probably with the Kfuenf program.
