Subject:Re: XK-1 replacement battery type?

Well, that didn't go well...

I did a dump to a file (using MidiOX, with capture sysex
enabled). I got the battery replaced without any problem, but
restoring the dump isn't restoring any of my presets or globals. It
went back to factory defaults.

The restore did NOT show any errors, and read in the dump file
without problem, but it didn't seem to do anything to restore my
presets or global settings.

ugh.
