Some years back I used a friends MPC-60 mk1 to make a few tracks and saved the projects on floppy disks.
This had the latest Linn OS if that makes any difference.
Now I know I can load these floppies on my MPC-2000XL I've done it before but I no longer can find my floppy drive, I replaced the internal drive years ago with a ZIP drive and can't find my floppy drive.
Surprisingly using a old laptop with Win98 and a floppy drive the computer reads the MPC-60 disks and the files on there.
So I dragged these files and stuck them on a zip so I could load them on my MPC-2000XL and this is where the problems start.
I can load the .ALL file ok, so all the arrangement is there but if I try to load the .APS file (ALL_PGMS) it comes up with the following error "Unexpected end-of-file" and that's that.
I can load the sounds individually but obviously I'd need to assign them to the correct pads and tune them to tunings I can't remember... I mean it could be done but it's a pain.
So any one have any idea on how I could load these APS files?
