dont pay 200 for cd/dvd drive--this drive will work for 50

the teac dw 224e-c--works just fine--thats the drive that akai pawns off for 199---blow something over there with that price

It don't matter. I got mine for FREE!!!

cd rom, ram, rotary encoders, tact switches, pads, ram...

it's all cheaper if you don't buy from akai

where do you get that for $50?

i searched all over, the lowest teac 224 e-c ive seen was around $140. are you willing to share sources?

url?

acutally, just found it on ebay: http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dl ... +dw+224e-c

thanks for the tip... have you tried it yourself?

it works

Cool. What about a cheap HD?

got the akai approved toshiba 40gb for $35 on ebay. works great and a lot faster than the cf cards.

i *****d up. i got the dw 224E not E-C. it dont work.
got idea why thou. its hard wired inside to act as master. and as the HD in the mpc is set to master then it dont work. anyone no how to change this internally (theres no jumpers) soldering maybe?

you have to push pin 47 back into housing so it disappears and then reconnect drive--its now a slave drive--it is the second to upper left pin--the last upper is 49--so you just go one over and that is 47

stfu.

your a lil b!tch Neo. you tell everyone to buy a drive that dont work and then when I mod it to work u act like it was your idea pussy ole

is pin 47 one over from the left? or 3 over? the first 2 pins are longer than the others correct? is it the second longer pin or the second smaller pin? pls excuse my ignorance but don't want to phoq up my drive. maybe i'm talking about the gold connector and not the pin. pin is silver or gold? thx
