Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By olsonage Wed Jan 06, 2010 9:54 pm
i bought a mpc 2000 a view days ago....

i want to buy an external card reader

i read about the Microtech PCD-40, which i found on
http://www.midicase.com/card_reader_guide.htm

but i dont find a supplier.... this would be the cheapest option...

does any body know where to get one ? or know a nother compatible card reader
to the mpc 2000

i found SCSIforsamplers too... but its expensive.....

the PCD 40 costs only a view dollars ... so i dont agree spending so much money
on this way....

so .. thanks 4 help
:oops:
