Hello All,
Posting this just in case it might help someone in a similar situation as mine as described in:
"IA switch not available - MFC-101 MKIII"
********
"So I'm posting this even though it's a little embarrassing:
My issue was due to human error, lol, typical.
I was running an old version of MFC-Edit, 5.2, instead of the latest, 8.5.
Once I downloaded and installed 8.5, opened my sysex file with the current config for my MFC-101, then uploaded it to the controller, I "recovered" the disabled IA switch immediately following the Presets, in my case, I have 4 Presets, IA 5 began working.
Now there is another issue, lol, just a side note, I know i should probably post it in the MFC-Edit forum.
After upgrading to MFC-Edit 8.5, if I close it and restart the program, it no longer opens.
I found a work-around after some deep triage, I work in IT, lol.
I won't go into the gory details, but I can if your really interested, lol.
My work-around is to uninstall MFC-Edit 8.5, reinstall 5.2, then upgrade to 8.5.
It will work until I close MFC-Edit when I'm done. If i try to start it after ending the program or rebooting the computer, no go.
I have two computers, a laptop, Dell G15 3590 with an Intel processor running WIN 11 22H2 and a Generic AMD processor desktop running Win 11 21H2.
Java 8 u371 are on both machines.
The same symptoms on both machines manifest as described above.
Anyways, a minor inconvenience to continue to be able to use and program my MFC-101.
I may try running a virtual machine with an old version of Win 10 or Win 7 with a legacy java package as stipulated in the MFC-Edit documentation and see if that is a cleaner solution.
Thanks for reading!"

Any suggestions are welcomed, lol!
Thank you!
