Yo fam, I am a mac user also. Had the same problem at first, but read the JJ site instructions for mac users. When the crazy JJ code text comes up, Save it on your hardrive or wherever you are saving it. Then you have to manually change the file name. For example

Save as mpc1000_xl127.os2.txt

Then rename the file manually by Option Clicking if you have a single clickin mouse. After you rename the file it should ask you do you want to Keep .txt or use os2 file name. Click use os2

After saving it should look like mpc1000_x127.os2

This should now be ready to install on the MPC via cf card or however you usually do it.

Lemme know how it goes bro.

c'mon man. thousands of other people, Mac users included, have managed to figure this out. if you're having this many problems downloading the os, imagine how much trouble you're going to have when you actually start trying to use the thing.

first of all, JJ includes a link right on his page for Mac users. use that. but if you know how to 'control-click & SAVE AS', then you don't even need that link.

second, if you have a file on your desktop that ens in '.os2', your already set. just install that on your mpc.

third, if you don't know how to rename files, then you better learn how to use a computer first.

do you people even read, before you act like an expert on everything. I said I have 2xl for my 2500 on my desk top. I am looking 2xl for the 1000. This is supposed to be a site for like minded people to share information, but everyone wants to act like an mpc gangster. what ever keep hating and worshiping the ground you walk on. again I amhaving trouble downloading 2xl for the mpc 1000, If any one has it it would be cool if you could hook it up .FOR those who dont have it or dont want to sare for what ever pathetic reason, just dont write anything .I dont care what you have to say.
