I vaguely remember having a similar problem and solved it by moving the bin file up the hierarchy of sub folders, i.e. c: megadrum/.bin

koby drums - Triggera krigg/Bix - megadrum - Kontakt........... Samples from all and sundry.

1. Are you sure you select the correct crystal frequency?
2. Are you sure no other MIDI apps are running when you follow the precedure?
3. Are you sure your MegaDrum is Atmega644 based and not Atmega1284 based?

1. Yes. It says 20MHz, see photo of firmware info:

2. None other programs or apps are running.
3. The documentation you sent me says Atmega644, se photo:

Moving the files directly to C:\ did not help, either :|

Problem solved!
It turned out the unit was Atmega1268, instead of 644, as the original documentation said.
I had to dismantle it, because I have built it into the casing of a 16 port network switch, with the ethernet ports acting as input sockets. And - voila - the processor read Atmega1268....
It is now properly updated.
Thanks for the tip, Dmitri - and you're forgiven that the documentation sent with the unit said 644... ;-)

Just for the record, it is Atmega1284 (not Atmega1268).
