Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By 1thought1 Sun Jun 08, 2014 5:33 am
Just wondering if ANY Compact Flash Cards would work with my Mpc2kXL.. I didnt know they were manly used for cameras.. Just bought a 'Sandisk Ultra II 1GB CompactFlash CF Memory Card' Hopefully somebody could let me know if this will work and give me a little more background info on CF cards. thanks.

Older MPCs can be very picky with which cards they will work with.

SanDisk seem to be the most compatible, as long as you don't buy a fake card.

I have used the following cf brands (133x speed) in the past.

Kingston
Lexar Professional
Transcend

They all worked for me.

I recommend Sandisk CF cards only. Other brand may not may not work, but as far as I know, Sandisk CF cards always worked with my XL (I use non-swappable CF card reader.) Sandisk 2GB (which is easier to find than 1GB card) card also works with XL.

I just fitted a Startech cf reader and have a 4gb Transend card. Works well.
