SoundDiver/midiquest editor software for OSX + Casio cz101?

I've been searching the last couple of hours for a patch editor for my casio cz-101 synth that is free (hopefully) and works on osx.
Sound Diver was the best, but it's discontinued and doesn't work on OSX without a logic dongle key.
Midiquest seems ridiculously ($250?!) overpriced for what it offers.
Jsynthlib is simply a patch librarian and does not support patch editing.
All I want is an easier way to edit the patches on my cz-101, since it's very tedious using the built-in editors and there are quite a few different parameters to tweak.
Also, could something like this be built using max/msp?

Looking for an editor for Doepfer Drehbank that will run on OS X... There is a way, using a virtual Windows 95 emulator, sysex files, & a sysex librarian, but I haven't got that sussed out properly yet. I guess I'll have to give it a go one of these days.
And yes, midiquest is expensive, plus I never got the demo to work properly for me. Didn't compel me to shell out money for it.
Doesn't help that I'm a MIDI novice.

You could always ask the jsynth dude to support these in a future release?

Also, you can backup any midi synth that supports sysex with sysex librarian for OS X.

hey thanks for that.
I should ask jsynthlib to support the cz 101 in future releases. Unfortunately jsynthlib can only be used as a patch librarian with the cz synth, it does not support patch editing, and that's what I'm hoping to find.

I know this is an old thread, but if anyone is still looking, I've made a Casio CZ-101 editor that works on OS X:

I'm looking at making a Windows version as well.

Please, do it.
Windows editors absolutely suck.
