Hi,

I have OS 2 on my mpc5000, the thing is that I have read that timing is better on old OS's, and would like to know if it's worth the hassle to install a prior version.

Thanks.

I wouldn't there were a ton of problems and short comings of the old OS. (if u go on you tube, and check out something like reply to Just Blazes rant, gives good examples of the OS's differences. I have NOT heard of any timing issues, but if yr having some try recording without the T.C. on and apply it later or not at all...

He's referring to the accuracy of the clock. Its not great on the 5k but i'm not aware that OS 2.0 introduced that problem.
