Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Does anyone know if the PCD 50b Microtech drive will work in the 2000xl?

Thanks

Not compatible.

The PCD-50 is LUN based one unlike the PCD 47B, which is target id based.

Just to let the "Cheap" masses know (I am one of them) - The PCD-50B's & PCD-60B's work great as PCMCIA only readers so long as you have the firmware upgrade to allow them to Read & Write. Most of these found on ebay are of the Read Only variety when you recieve them, but I can provide anyone with this firmware upgrade if they wish... just contact me and I can email it to you ( I have no way to post this...)

I am currently using a PCD-50B with my Akai S5000 sampler using PCMCIA to CF, and PCMCIA to SD/MMC adapters and I am using 8GB CF's and 4GB SD's. I also have the Same Rig on my E-MU ESI 4000.

They look cool in the units - and only you know that 1 slot in 5 or 6 is functional.

Cheers!!

FYI - Update.

You can request the firmware from [email protected]
if you ask really nicely. Pexagontech supports the PCD readers.

Good Luck.
