Xpantastic!

Perhaps the patches could be "recorded" by passing the 
Atari->Xpander MIDI through a laptop running MIDI-OX. Then 
the SysEx could be logged and the patches pulled out.

But it still needs someone (i.e. PeWe) to methodically 
transfer each patch, and type up the patch names... Would 
the promise of the undying gratitude of the Xpander 
community be enough to convince him/her to take on this 
Herculean task? ;)

Cheers,

John :^P
