CF for 60? Which ones work?

YO on midicase its say the compatiblity of the Microtech PCD-47B with MPC 60mkI(and mkII?) is unknown.....Anyone ever tried it out? If not, I am for sure taking the plunge, got a few green backs to experiment with...Any other unkowns that I could look into, I want to compile a list of Compatible CF drive for the 60..
Peace

I don't know what kind mine is. It's a MICROTECH though. You definately want to get one. Much better than floppy or zip for the 60.

Spectre, Ive seen the one you got for like 500 USD at camcor.com, but i know you can get the cheaper.


Is this the one you coped?

Looks like it. I paid only 30 dollars though.

Freakin BS. chargin that much. 30 is a much better figure.

The PCD-47B is a model derived from earlier MICROTECH models.

It doesn't appear to support certain SCSI commands correctly...

Or respond correctly to certain device capability enquires ...

I have had three PCD-47B models.

One made in Singapore, another made in Japan and yet another made in Taiwan.

All the PCD-47B's are hardware derived from another model of PCD.

The firmware base code in a PCD-47B is derived from another PCD model also.

The Japanese "intermart" branded PCD circuit boards in one of my PCD-47B drives worked OK with all of my MPC3000 and a friends MPC60 when loaded with the latest BIOS/FIRMWARE.

The other PCD-47B's manufactured outside Japan did not work with the MPC3000 or MPC60.

All of the PCD-47B devices worked OK with the MPC2000XL.

Cross the PCD-47B off the compatability list where MPC60/MPC3000 compatiblity is concerned as it is too hit and miss to be 100% reliable.

Stick with the other models mentioned.

Yeah I was reading about the firmware problem some where. Cool, well now i dont need to spring the dough for something that might/might not work..I like the idea of a PC card drive so i can transfer from puter to MPC using PCMCIA Hard Drive cards. But I can settle for less.Off into the webbernet I go with my burden like Frodo! <-- = (cheesey)
