no i have a 2000XL check my profile to see what extras i have that might interfear with some process!!!

Your right in as much as there is something wrong!!! 1.2 is very buggy but i cant seem to load any .wavs from zip on 1.14 i get no scsi device found on 1.14 all the time !!!

upon hearing that 1.2 resolves this issue(another forum) i installed it... thats where the problem started .. but it did fix the main problem of finding the drives.... ive only had the machine for 2 weeks now and when i first had it .. it never asked me for floppy only since i installed 1.2 :(((

( maybe i shouldnt point out that i have a broken EMU sampler aswell due to my own doing (hot swapping SCSI duh!!!)) so maybe you understand my asking you so many questions !!

!!but having said that , the MPC came with a 100 meg external ZIP drive , so i was surprised it didnt all just load up straight away !

Any ideas on where to get another CPU flash Rom is it?? i mean everytime i search i just find mentions of the F-ROM expansion chip (which i dont think is the same thing ?? can you put me right??

But dont worry if you aint got time - i know BRAVO has spent some time trying to help me ... and the machine does still work , and has ALREADY earnt its Money Back in Quality Beats

Try the OS load from the zip - Change Primary to the appropriate SCSI ID then do what I said from b4

GENIUS......... you starr Bravo - thats fixed it!!!!!!

i never seen it boot so fast , just says MPC2000XL for 1 sec then goes straight to main window , then flashes Load Screen for 1 sec and back to Main Window again all in under 3 secs !!!!!!!!

And it loads and finds the .wavs too!!!

incase your wandering it doesnt even need the ZIP attached to BOOT , so its fixed for real!!!

im guessing you have a MAC to format your floppies - or at least a different Pc prog to extract the MPC114.ZIP ???

Im never putting 1.2 in again !

thanks jazzur

Cool - No worries

I deal with PC's. I gotta CF drive in my machine with a 1GB card. Im running 1.20 with no issues.

OS update is really only advised for those using CF Drives with a 1GB card
