so i have a 2500 with jjos 2xl, all my OS's are on that flash card, the akai one and i want to say there is 2 jjos on it.

if i eject this card, will my mpc run without it? it doesnt stream the os off of the card every time does it?

the reason i ask is, im going on a trip for awhile, and am debating bringing my 2500, but i will probably buy a 1k while im gone. if i get that shipped up to me, and i need to load the jjos with my 2500 projects on it, i could probably just bring the CF card with me right?

moreover, could i use the jjos thats already on my card (provided i pay for the new os to register it on my 1k) to load up onto my 1k that way?

i just want to load up my card with a few projects (in progress) from my 2500, and only bring the cf card, then load up jjos 2xl onto my future mpc 1k from there.

would this work out?

i just dont want to bring my CF card with my 3 OS's from my 25k on my trip with me, and then when i buy the 1k os, i get them mixed up somehow.

bascially i dont want to touch the os's, im scared ill break something.

could i just drag them in another folder labeled 2500 os, or do they have to be out of a folder when the mpc is in use?

if this is the case, i guess i could use the cf card just to transfer my projects to my computer before i leave, and then buy a new cf card with the 1k os shit in them that ill just leave in there too.

SHOULD WORK BUT I HAVENT TRIED THIS MYSELF.

not yelling just couldnt be bothered to use a different colour :P

jjos installs to RAM so once its in then you're good and you can delete whatever installer file exists if you want to.

as i said i havent tried porting 2500 <=>1000 so no idea if it'll work, but i think it will, and perhaps someone who's tried will chime in.
