I am reporting back with my ongoing MPC 3000 problem... I am attaching a image that explains what's going on, perhaps somebody has an idea? Here is the issue:
The MPC 3000 is not working normally since I installed the RaizinMonster. In the beginning the RaizinMonster did not recognize any of my own cards so the vendor was a real gentleman and he sent me a newer 4 GB SanDisk card FOR FREE (shipping and all) to try out. And it did work because this time I was at least able to format the card into partitions of 30 MB each (letters A, B, C, etc). The SCSI ID was set to 2 for the reader. My MPC 3000 was at the shop during this time and the technician was able to record and save a sound on this new card so we assumed the problem was due to my old cards and so I took the MPC home. But now that I am home my machine freezes every time I try to save a sound or program in any of the partitions.
The two lights from the card reader are on (green and red) and the MPC screen says "Saving" but nothing happens... the machine freezes and I can't get out of this mode, all I can do is restart. I took the time to visually illustrate my problem, here is a graphic... Anybody has any ideas?
As an experiment I connected a Zip drive in the back via SCSI (tried ID #5 and 6 with and without termination) and removed the compact flash card to make sure it wasn't detected in any way, I was curious to see if I could use the Zip drive, but that did not work.
Thanks in advance for any insight. I don't honestly think it has anything to do with the RaizinMonster myself...

I reformatted the flash card and was able to save a sound. Hallelujah I thought for a moment. Well after sampling a second sound I tried to save it also but then it froze again. I restarted the MPC, sampled again, tried to save and got the same freeze.
