Hi, I just installed in my mpc2000XL, my cf reader same like:
http://home.tiscali.nl/~smeyer/mpc/
I installed the os 1.14 before because I was reading here it would work better, but when I push on the mpc's start button, the screen lights on and lights off all the time, and never starts the os.
In the same website (http://home.tiscali.nl/~smeyer/mpc/) I was reading that only works with 1.11 os,
-it's true???
-where Can I dowload it??
thanks a lot

peace.

I've never gotten an SD card to work, I've only read/heard of 1 person on these boards getting it to work correctly. Other than that, everyone I know/known switched to using cf cards, I use 2 x 512mb Lexar cf's, OS 1.14, 2kxl.

Can't help with regards to your gremlin, however.......

I have o.s 1.14 and use 1gb SD card .....never had a problem from the go. Hmm.... Didn't even realise there was an issue till i read a few more threads on card readers over the last couple of days. I also have the exact model of card reader displayed in the link above.....

I checked better the conexions I did and I bought a compact flash card (because with my sd card it does'nt work)
...But I found a new problem with tha 1gb cf card I can't do partitions!!!!
-it's normal???

why make partitions if you can make a map for each beat

Used 2GB SD long time. It's actually "San Disk" though. Never used anything else.
