resistor Posted June 21, 2012 Report Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Hi everyone, I'm looking for advice regarding the following problem : When I upgraded the 6581 chip to the 8580 and installed the new firmware (v2.040 8580 from v2.034 6581), the MidiBox, it seems, re-formatted the bank sticks. Now it would only load the presets up until #64, so I am guessing the actual format is 32k instead of 64k. Is there any way to format to 64k while using the 8580 chip with v2.040 firmware? Thank you in advance Fernando Argentina I have the followings Banksticks: A1 A2 A3 A7 I have a Stereo Sid Best regards Edited June 25, 2012 by resistor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TK. Posted June 26, 2012 Report Share Posted June 26, 2012 The BankStick size will be detected automatically during formatting. It's very strange that they have been re-formatted after a firmware update, this shouldn't happen and may indicate a hardware failure (e.g. short circuit?) However, you could try following trick: upload the MIDIbox FM firmware, it will re-format the sticks for MBFM usage. Thereafter upload the MIDIbox SID V2 firmware: BankSticks will be re-formated again - this time for 64k? Best Regards, Thorsten. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
