How to check whether a remote mpc has got jjos and full ram?

This is my first post, so hi everyone.

I bought mpc1000 allegedly with jjos2xl and 128Mb ram on it on american Ebay. I'm in Europe, but I have someone in the US that will handle the package for me, but he's not a technician of any sort nor a musician.

What's the easiest and most certain way to verify whether the device has got an unlocked version of JJOS2XL and 128mb ram?
I'll truly appreciate help.

have him start it up and write down what the screen says immediately after it powers on. it will report the JJ OS version & amount of RAM installed.

and only use paypal! otherwise you dont have any security if he is trying to screw you over.

I know it is possible to use demo version of jjos. Does showing up of the os version guarantee it's a full, payed version?

Yeah, thanks. Transaction made using paypal.

hmm. good question. i don't think so.

but if you have him press the MODE key and then PAD 3 it will bring up the SAVE screen. if the JJ OS has not been paid for then it should ask for a password at that point (or maybe only when you actually try to save a file. i don't remember exactly).

mode + pad 10 /global provides a screen showing the version of JJOS installed.

Thanks guys for your help!
