no, i went to guitar center and used an undocumented key combination to
copy the 808ex o.s. onto a zip disk.

then i used another undocumented key combination to dump it onto my
"808-classic".

SAVE OperatingSystem WITH ZIPDISK

IMPORTANT! Remember to format a ZIP disk to store backup on  before 
saving-it will not give you the option!! 
1)Power off. 
2)Push 1/[5] + CLEAR below 
LOCATOR at same time. 
3)Switch Power On. 
4)"SAVESYSPROG insert disk" is 
displayed. 
5)Insert New SP-808 Zip disk. 

This can be used to copy the operating system from a 808EX, and to
update the original SP-808. 

Use the tip below to install your OS via Zipdisk. 

UPDATE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! ROLAND DOES NOT SUPPORT THIS!!!!!
