Please Read! >> This new version O/S 8 only corrects the COMPATIBILITY ISSUE. Will not improve the sound of a working board with an older operating system, it Solution Reboot your Flash Memory (U8 IC) with a U7 Bootflash EPROM. Our software department has released the new Sound Operating System O/S 8 Version (which is compatible with all White Star CPU/Sound Board II U7 Sound EPROMs).
