khawkins75 1 Posted August 8, 2016 Hi - I'm trying to apply the flash memory update to my Spider IV 75 using Line6 Monkey, but after accepting the license agreement, I keep getting an error saying: "Error opening MIDI ports. (Code 8000900C) MIDI device timed out waiting for a respose." I'm using a PC with Windows 7, and connecting through an FBV Shortboard MKII. This is my first time connecting my amp to a computer. Any help is appreciated. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
khawkins75 1 Posted August 8, 2016 I've tried every USB port on two laptops, both running Win 7. On one, I have two ports that Spider Monkey will recognize both my amp and the FBV, but I get the same error. The third port only recognized the FBV. On my second laptop, Spider Monkey won't recognize any device. The drivers show installed when I plug in the USB cable, so not sure what's going on. Here's the process I'm following: Amp is connected to FBV. Turn off amp. Connect FBV to my computer. After the USB driver installs, turn on the amp. Launch Line6 Monkey. Thanks!

khawkins75 1 Posted August 8, 2016 Never mind, I finally got it to work. Had to reboot several times, and it still only works on one of the three USB ports on my laptop. Strange, but I'll take it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
