Word its 240 v, with 3.50 Software and just a floppy drive internal I wanted to keep the floppy so I can load all my 60disks. I use a ZIP drive for saving stuff.

Ok so i'm rocking number 0815 Mpc3000 LE. Located in UK (isle of wight)

240V 3.11 I think, (only just got it)

Floppy at the moment soon to be CF reader. I will keep the floppy but just not installed as I have no use for it. I'm coming from a newer mpc you see.


Pictures to follow

Already answered in this thread, and we're on page 3.

It's a nice case, if you put a 3000 in a 60 case you'd have room to spare.

The 3000 is almost turntable size, small but perfectly formed.

Man DJ Shadow used a 60 for Endtroducing not a 3000 he used two 3000s a vp-9000 for Private Press word!

We all know there were only 2000 produced in the year 2000, numbered 0001 to 2000.

This is just a bit of fun to see who here has which number on their 3000LE, and which were sold in the US/ UK/ Europe/ Japan.

If you can drop a SINGLE photo of the LE as proof that would be dope, even though they all look virtually the same.

Any other info you care to give about the current spec, location and where you got hold of it.

I will endevour to compile a numerical list of 3000LE's owned by our members in this first post.

I'll have a nice set-up, when I set it all up again.

My priorities lie elsewhere at the moment.

Thanks though!
