ATTENTION: Good deal on 8MB Flash rom

I know these used to $350. now they got em for 199.95


good value for something to extend the ram on the 2000xl.

I would still never drop $200 on 8mb... lol maybe if it was 1991

I just got 128 MB of compact flash for $20, why spend $200 on 8 mb?

appearently , you don't understand the function of this piece.


I really don't care who buy's it, im just posting this for anybody who might.


the mpc 2000 xl has to slots for flas rom, effectivily giving you 48 mb of sample time.

sure it may be expensive. but it is the only way to get mor that 32mb of samples loaded into your mpc 2000xl


whatever
ignorance is bliss, yall some happy muthaphvcka's

Thanks for posting. I really needed one of these. It helps if you dont feel like loadin up shit all da time. It will remember stuff and its great for the 2k if u tired of loadin dat damn OS disk.

thank you

good looking out.

Damn Lord T i wish you would've waited 2 weeks to post this .I don't think people really understand how important the flash rom is.Especially for 2k users.Hopefully i can catch one on back order though.Damn it man. (good lookin' out)

For the 2k, that's what I was thinking.

Well you might want to keep in mind that the MPC-2000xl uses the FMX008M FlashROM and the MPC-2000 uses the FMC-01 FlashROM.

The list price on the FMX008M was $645 while the list price on the FMC-01 list price was $499.

Thanks for bringin that up. So its not compatible with both. Hmm...

Well i just did some research and the 2k can use the the same board the XL uses. I read in the manual and it states that board as an option. So Lord T thanks for posting it.

I would contact Akai to be sure.
The Akai price/option list defintely shows 2 different models for them.
Probably has something to do with the mounting since the xl is an inverted classic and has the boot flash rom.
Just email Akai and ask them what is the difference between the FMC-01 (Classic) and the FMX008M (XL) flash roms.

you would better off asking these guys.

No need to ask either one of them. If anyone is familiar with assembly MPCs then u will notice that on the mother board it states FMX008M. I remeber seein it and to be sure i took my 2k a loose to check and thats what it states.

But still thanks anyways.
