actually, i think it only stopped flashing when i loaded the user bank, 
it didn't do that for the card banks.  not a big deal either way.

I think that what happened is that at some point, Alesis changed the 
default patches that ship with the A6.  My keyboard dates from early 
2000, so I think it probably has the first set.  If I compare the Preset 
1 and 2 banks to the list printed on the Alesis website, there's about 
20 different patches.

This wouldn't be a problem, except that the patches I'm looking for seem 
to come from the default User Bank of early A6's.  Does anybody have an 
early A6, and also happen to have a backup of the default user bank?  I 
think this would resolve things.  It seems like they got rid of some of 
the best presets . . .
