There are three models of the II -- S, D, and FD. Which one do you have? Because if you've got an FD you've got a very easy way to load sounds -- the OS reads standard MSDOS floppy formats, so patch transfers are super simple. If not then finding the adapter for the cartridge port would be your easiest way to move sounds between the machines.
IIRC, the II reads the sysex format of the original with no problems, so you should be able to do a straightforward patch dump. It doesn't work the other way, from what I remember, but it's been a long time since I did any of this.

Subject: [YamahaDX] Dx7 MK ii
Hi everyone - happy new year,
I recently switched to a DX7 MKII - but I’m finding things to be quite different than on the MKI. I’m wondering if folks here can tell me how to transfer a patch library currently on the machine into a SysEx file on my computer.
I’m also wondering if there are useful resources for the MKII, in general, since the support seems much thinner and I’m not finding explanations as easily.
Thanks,
Geoff
