I think they do. Its weird how you can select diff things with the Function keys and it will display other numbers/codes. Im betting they are some sort of debug/halt codes that only the akai devs can understand.. or aliens. i wonder what asm lang they use in the xl os. would be nice if they gave people access to the xl os source code, then people could come up with all types of crazy mods and it would surly extend the life of the xl.

hmmm, if my classic 2000 freezes on me again with the numbers, im going to try pressing the function keys also, to see if the numbers switch.

yeah those DIV error must mean something but when it freezes up what else can you do before the red mist sets in ! :)

Thankfully it hasn't happened again, did have unrelated ZIP drive problems but sorted that now...it's just a solid lesson in saving ya work, never lose that and thiink i'll just do this tweak then save it SAVE NOW !! :)

I sometimes save every time I make a critical change to a beat, but luckly for me the ol' 2K has been rock solid ;)
