Hi there again. thanks thorsten for that hint ;)......i did read the comments in the code from the main.asm file....but there also was written that i have to change something in the cs_menu_io_tables.inc . can i ignore that and just set the displayad items to four? and my next problem is a complete other prob...i moved a month ago to another city and have just 56k dialup internet connection. when i have luck, i have a connection rate about 38k......thats horrible..... :-[ that means for me that im not able to download the perl stuff (13MB filesize) to recompile the files for my 6581 and my 8580......so my new favourite synths are useless for me at this time, cause i cant save my patches....one hour internet costs me 3 euros at the moment...and my girlfriend.....she gets angry when im blocking the phone for hours....not nice... :-\ for shure.....im online 24 hours per day, but just with my sidekick (a t-mobile phone with internet flatrate for email; browsing and aim), but i cant download anything with it to my puter....and on my work its strictly forbidden and not possible to download any files. i had to sign for that..... is nobody out there who can do this 5 minute job for me ( just make the little change in the file, one for my 6581 and one for my 8580), i will honor this...really...if sombody needs any parts, cases or just a repair for any analogue synth, drum or fx.... ::) ::) ::) nice evening! :-* greetz ps: if i have my dsl, i will help to make a nice documentation....documentations.....well....this is an important part of my job. im working in industrial prototyping, and testing, measuring, analysis and documentations about that ill do all the day long....
