Hi there
I've started a new thread (from my last one) as I've realised that this hasn't got anything to do with the OS.
So, I have THREE PSR8000s!!
One I bought in 1999 and used every week until 2015 when it finally fell apart so I bought another one off eBay for £150.
6 months ago, I saw another one even cheaper and so bought it as a spare. I also decided to fit one of those USB/floppy emulators to it but due to the lack of light, I accidentally connected the cable halfway up. i.e. the top line of holes was connected to the bottom line of pins.
When nothing happened except the lights coming on on the interface, I opened it up, realised my mistake and reconnected it correctly.
I could play midifiles from the USB and load samples, however custom sounds I made on my other 2 PSR8000s come out distorted/corrupted and eventually lock up the keyboard.
Thinking this was the fault of the USB/Floppy unit, I re-installed the floppy disk, but then the same thing happened….. Midifiles and samples no problem, but loading custom sounds causes corruption and lockup. I quickly made some custom sounds on this machine (as a test) and saved the to the internal HD but these load ok when completely reset.
I noticed that the disk.mng file on the floppy from machine 3 states a version of
Ver0.61Rev0.00
Whereas the other two are later versions of
Ver0.66Rev0.00 and
Ver0.75Rev0.00
Could this be the problem? or have I ruined the floppy disk management system by misinstalling the USB/floppy unit?
Annoyingly, I can’t remember if it worked correctly before I opened the keyboard up
Any help would be appreciated.
