MPC2000XL with different Akai Logo

Hi MPCians!

Just a question of pure curiosity :

I recently bought a classic grey MPC2000XL and then I noticed the Akai logo is not the "classic" one but the "new" one, like on the blue MCD.

I've searched and I didn't find any serie name for this MPC.

The 32Mb RAM seem to be factory installed and there is no card reader or extension. Just the good ol'grey MPC but with the new logo.

Any idea about which serie is this?

Thanks!

Thanks but I know they're the same just I've never seen mine anywhere. So I wonder which serie is it.

It has no 8 outs so no spdif, 32Mb factory RAM, basic floppy drive, no fx and OS is 1.14.

The guy I bought it from did't change anything, no upgrade, nothing.

Just curiosity as I said...

I'm curious to know what "factory installed" RAM looks like to make it unique and different from all other RAM? Could you post pics?

For the factory RAM clue, I say this cause when I bought it I asked the guy about the RAM (he bought the MPC brand new) he told me "I didn't change anything, I don't know what's inside", so I had to ask him about the recording time to know that there were 32Mb.

A pic of the beast:


On the front side, next to the floppy, the logo is also a new one, not the classic one.

your beast looks pretty tame......look here.

It better be tame, that's why I prefer MPC than computers.

Thanks for the link, but I don't think my MPC is custom, just an unsual serie I think.

there is a difference in the drive and the OS between the oldest XL model and newer grey,blue ones

You mean the floppy drive?
