"so the os doesnt make anything look or run different? just prevents bugs?"

Depends on what you are upgrading from. If you are currently running 1.00, then you are likely to see quite a difference.

1. Zip disk data corruption - fixed
On MPC2000XL's with an ATAPI Zip disk installed internally, the data on the Zip disk may be occasionally damaged. This may happen when the drive is in sleep mode and and does not cor-rectly wake up when a disk operation (save or load), or a disk write operation (save, rename, over-write, erase, etc.) is performed. The wait time for the restart of the Zip disk in V1.12 OS is set to 3 sec. However the Zip disk may not restart within this time period, causing a timeout. In this case the next write operation may damage the contents of the disk. In V1.14, the wait time has been extended from 3 sec to 20 sec.

2. Song conversion problem - fixed
A Song may not be properly converted to a sequence if one of the sequences in the song has a large number of events (over 768 notes) and is repeated more than twice in the song.

3. Song conversion problem - fixed
A song may not be properly converted to a sequence if the sequence contains MIDI system exclu-sive messages and the track containing those messages is set to OFF, and the option of "OFF TRACKS IGNORED" or "MERGED ON MIDI CH" is selected in the song convert options.

4. MTC Slave problem - fixed
In MTC slave mode a song may play at an unstable tempo at the point where a sequence changes to the next sequence if the song contains several sequences with different tempos.

5. Edit range problem - fixed
In EDIT mode, the time range cannot be set correctly after pressing TC (F1) in STEP EDIT mode.
