anybody use type I cf cards?

does anybody use type I cf cards in their 1k?

i getting my mpc1000 soon and i have a type 1 cf card, its 3.3mm thick and a type II 5.0mm thick.

the slot on the mpc1000 is type II

akai e-mailed saying i should use type II

is anyone using a type I (3.3mm thick) cf card in their 1000 succesfully.

thanks for all replys bruvas.

Haven't heard nor ever tried to but I will say that radio shack prob has the type II for cheap right now. I just picked up a 2g for 35 bucks so it's worth it.

There is no difference between the two types of cards besides the thickness of the outer casing. Any CF slot that will take a type II will accept a type I. I think most people on here use type I as type II isn't usually stocked at most retail outlets. The CF that Akai includes with all new units is type I.

Unfortunately one thing this forum seems to have proven is that if anybody at Akai will even speak to you, they tend to appear completely ignorant of their own products and the technology they use. So the response you got is sadly typical.
