Emu XL-7 & MP-7 User's Group

This is good  - or at least hopeful news indeed. I have spent hour(s) 
trying to get eloader 1.1 to up or download to the XL7 with no success. 
Configuration is mac G4 400. MOTU USB MIDI Express XT, Digital 
Performer 2.7 using OMS emulator. I can see the XL7 banks etc in 
eloader - but any attempt to up or download fails. Maybe it is becaue I 
am not running OMS ("Oh, A Mess"), which I have been trying avoid if at 
all possible as in my experience (many years with OMS - I was SO happy 
to finally be free of it) it creates more problems than it solves.  Emu 
tech says that if I can see the XL7 info in eloader than the OMS 
emulator all should be fine. Any advice or insights are greatly 
appreciated.

Thanks to all!
