Vetta Software Upgrade Procedure
The Vetta’s software is upgraded via a Midi SysEx data dump to the Vetta’s
Flash memory; there is no replaceable EPROM. To perform an upgrade to
Vetta, you will need either a Midi data filer or a computer with Midi SysEx
software as well as the new software code and a standard Midi cable (or
joystick-to-midi cable). New code can also be imported from another Vetta.
Connect the midi cable from the Midi out port of your transmitting device to
the Vetta’s MIDI In port (If your computer has a soundcard that utilizes the
joystick port for midi operations, you will need a Midi-to-joystick cable.)
After the midi connections are made and the unit from which you are
transmitting the software is ready with the proper code, follow the
instructions below.
