can anyone post the URL of the VST homepage? i think thats the last chance for me to get a cardreader for the MPC that works...

i searched for hours but found nothing

You could have looked at the top of the page. They sponsor this site.

i have 3 drives. this is one of them. addonics is one and the akai mcd is the other. this drive works on mine. but i have the golden mpc apparently. cause nobody else has one that writes.

Might this be the one?

thats the addonics drive i have and it works great.

nevermind

Is there any difference between SCSI or IDE cardreaders?
I read that IDE would be faster. Is that true?

you might as well get the entire MCD kit for 259 instead of just the card reader for 160..

ey,what`s going on with you
zip disks are a bargain,
with a usb zip the transfer from computer to mpc is easy,
the drive is also as cheap as possible,
so,why does everybody needs a cardreader??
I know there are some benefits but are they worth the money?
peace

Flash memory is more reliable, ZIPs tend to become unreadable after some time just like floppy disks, and then you loose a full disk of data. But instead of paying ridiculous prices for a useable card reader, I would recommend taking a look at external SCSI harddrives.

Would you prefer to have 20 zip disk(=2gb) laying around and they go bad or 1 2gb compact flash card that cheaper easier to find and a hell of a lot more reliable!

i just went ahead and scooped up that $17 card reader. (ive heard its read only)
but thats ok, im just going to use it to load up drums, im gonna instal a hd to save on. thats the best deal. imo

^ thats not a bad idea actually..

can u suggest a decent flash card reader.. its a minefield trying to choose
at the moment and where?

Thanks
