Have you tried running the latest converter program ver 2.1 available on the Japan FTP site? Also, you will get best results running the app in Win98 compatibility mode.

I had the same problem in XP Pro.
So I went to download 2.1 from Japan,

And ended up getting 2.2 and now I can save banks at a time onto my PC.

Does anyone know if that converter version works for MAC OSX...? I can't read Japanese, and I click on the link that seems to be for MAC OS -- (Japanese character), and I get an error message in Japanese, and nothing happens...

The Roland US link for the converter program for MAC seems to be for OS 8.5...

Thanks!

Just wanna let ya know that I was able to save to and from on xp64bit. But I have to manually unplug and plug the zip drive as there are no xp64 bit drivers but it will still work it just has a found new device box that I just leave it on the screen. Also after each transfer the converter program shuts off and I have to restart but I am able to do the transfers it just sucks to have to unplug the zip drive but I only need to do the transfers about every two weeks or so.

Does anyone have the .exe v2.2 that they can share/upload? On the Roland Japanese site I could only find v2.1.
I'm on a Mac (OS 10.10.3) and I'm using the WineBottler.app to wrap the v2.1 or v2.0 .exe into an Mac app. For some reason the wrapped app it's not seeing my ZIP Disk via USB. It's a long shot but I'm trying to make this work.
Thanks!

I got the wave convertor .exe v2.2 program and wrapped it into an Mac App.
Now I got to find the time to try it out with a Mac and transfered file to the Sp-808.
