does Flash Rom come with the 2000xl?

I bought a used 2000xl that has not been upgraded at all. still has the floppy(old school). was wondering if it came with the 8mb flash rom or if I had to pick this up, so I cansave updates. I would think it came with it, but ive seen them sold at on-line stores so I'm not sure. I searched but couldnt find anything. its an se by the way if that has anything to do with the time it was made if that matters. thanks

No it doesnt come with the flash rom

does anyone know a place to get it for a good price?

Tic Toc is selling one. PM him.

But I honestly dont see the need for one

if I wanted to keep the update on the mpc wouldnt I need the flash rom? Im going to be putting the card reader in so I wont be able to put the floppy back in durring startup.

Get cha doe up and buy a 2500. 2500$ is nuffin'

oh I hear you. No u dont need the compact flash for that. You can just download the newest OS onto your your data card and load it up into the mpc. Although I dont know where to download it. Somebody on here definately knows where to get it. Or if you have a floppy drive on your computer load the OS onto your computer than save it to a data card and load up

Jacpot, I thought you said it doesnt have rom inside the mpc, which means I couldnt save it to the internal memory, right?

No man. Im saying download the new OS off the computer...

Save it onto some sort of flash card or data stick.

Once you install the mcd card reader in the mpc install the new OS using the data stick that u saved it to...

GET IT?

yea, makes sense

make sure u holla at Tic Toc if you want that flash card though

is it a flash card or is it the FMX008M flash rom?

You go on the akai site and download it, save it to a USB card reader, take that card and place it in your mpc and install. It's the EXACT same procedure for floppy. Flash ROM isn't needed for that.
