Hi to all of you who already used the 1.5 ROM Update. I asked this question a while ago and never did get an answer.

Does the ROM update address the SD percentage memory remaining problem. i.e. if you were showing a strange percentage and memory remaining figure prior to the update, are you now showing a TRUE memory remaining figure and percentage?

Hi Joan,
According to a posting on this thread : http://www.synthzone.com/ubbs/Forum25/HTML/001846.html
Version 1.5 is supposed to correct the following :
1. Bitmap pics for HOME page can now be selected.
2. SD-Card "%age free" is now corrected
3. Drum Track with transposed files corrected for use with MIDI out.
4. Audio files on SD-Card are all now recognised.
5. The SD-Card Control File will no longer be corrupted
6. Corrections to Technichords which either don't work or produce the wrong results e.g. "add9", "madd9"

Joan, I've tried version 1.5 with several (6) SD cards of different sizes and all report proper percentage remaining. I got version 1.5 from Technics USA about a month ago and so far, I can't find anything wrong with it. I don't understand the delay in the UK.

I should add that I do not use MP3 or Midi files with my SD cards. So I have not looked at those functions.

Thanks for the list Bill, I know what the Rom Update stated what it addresses, what I asked, or what I hoped I asked was whether in fact it did.

So Bob whilst you have told me that your SD cards are reading correctly, what I now want answering is whether they were reading incorrectly before the update. I suspect not, am I right? Joan

They were all incorrect before the update.

I just talked to Eddie Williams at Panasonic here in the USA and told him that I have had trouble with the SD Card INF file getting corrupted. He is sending the update disks and did not deny the problems. He does not know why Germany and then Australia got the updates first.
