Copy System
From time to time the EOS operating system will be updated with new features and functions. This software is usually distributed on floppy disk and can be permanently copied into the Emulator's Flash RAM so that it will automatically load whenever you turn on the Emulator. Software can also be saved to a floppy disk in order to back it up.
Each version of software is numbered and is indicated when you select “About” under the “Utilities” menu in the Master module. Copying software will not affect any other data such as samples or presets.
