The memory area is 100000 bytes, and my dump only 8160 bytes.
It seems to be some kind of limit here. I can send 262 bytes with
MIDISend,
if I try to send more then that nothing will be sent. Can someone
please
tell me why?

Below is a quick program I wrote to test this.
I successfully sent a sysex with 384 bytes in the body to the IAC
driver and it came back to another test tool's readProc intact.
Does it work for you?
Can you verify with MIDIMonitor that your sysex is making it intact to
the driver? (spy on the application output) If it's not getting to the
driver, then I'll investigate it further.
If the sysex is getting to the driver, then it's possibly a driver
issue -- does your interface have an output activity indicator? Does it
look like the interface is receiving and retransmitting the bytes to
the device?
While testing this I noticed that MIDIPacketListAdd will not fail if
asked to make a packet list larger than 65536 bytes (there are good
internal reasons to limit the size of any one contiguous message and
it's simple enough to break it up).
Is there a reason you're not using MIDISendSysex?
