MPC1000 RAM and CF card Recommendations

will this one work?

i dont the CL3 info on it. Is that important?

This runs contrary to what another poster recommended but I tried Maplin's SODIMM 256Mb upgrade and it failed to work! The MPC runs Bootblock, gets about halfway through pass 1 then tells me it's failed and the problem was found in memory...I'm assuming it's just an incompatible bit of RAM...but how can I be certain the next third party memory I buy won't have the same problem?

For those in Europe (it may be available in US) the Hama Brand CF cards (Im using 8gb version) work.

Hi from a new member! I'm in Australia so this may not be much help to many of the members here.

I just put this RAM into my MPC 2500 and it works, BUT...

My MPC 2500 is an early one (has the old style pad sensor of the 2000XL).
I'm not sure but I thought I heard the occasional sound glitch or audio click when playing back one of my sequences.
Don't think it was there before when using the stock 16mb RAM, but I could be mistaken (memory tricks).
I'll keep an eye on it, and I think I will try to fill up the entire RAM and then empty it to see what happens.

Hey, check this out - a computer RAM seller getting in on the Akai act!

Good looks in advance.

So what is the max CF card size? I hear some say they've got 16GB cards working with jjos. Is this the case with all versions of jjos? I looked on the jjos site and I did not see any reference as to what it does different in this regard or if is the case.

Using JJOS 3.08 free version I have the Kingston 16GB shown below working. Formatted using MPC and works like a charm.

Is it definitely formatted out to the full 16 gig?

would that be a typeII or a type III card? and does it work with AKAI OS? I'm gonna download the free version of the JJ OS and give it a go, seems like it's way more capable than the original OS.

I also got some old samsung ram, it's 256mb pc133 CL2.5 anybody got experience with something like that? is CL2.5 cool or what? I read almost the whole thread and someone said that samsung ram didn't work but I'm not sure if that matters.

thx 4 any input y'all

peace
