Is the scsi upgrade anygood for the mpc60? Whats the benefit of having the scsi for the 60. Does it even need it? And what about that vimana 3.15 upgrade anyone?

Re: SCSI - Was discussed here many times.
Yes, you could connect SD/CF/ZIP - Faster loading times and all samples in one place - It's the time saver and when you have an idea then you don't want to wait or search a specific floppy.

Vimana 3.15b seems to work ok but I had once a bug which caused a total mess with sequencer timings.
This happen after like 10h session and my drums started to be extremely wonky - Reboot helped.

I think there is not much from 3.15 "features", which could convince me to buy 3.15 over 3.10 (Roger Linn) If I were in your shoes.

BTW. There are more upgrades, RAM, for example, is crucial and output signal level boost could help to achieve the cleaner sound.
