I have some, sent you a pm. I'm looking high and low for the 3000 vga board. I've called everywhere, and no luck. I've got cold cash if anyone has one!

if all else fails if someone gets me a flick of the EPROM and the ROM Image I can make a new one for you.

A dump of my MPC3000LE's 3.11 images resides in the files area of the mpc3000 list at yahoogroups.

For this very purpose.

Look fellow Australian ... It is not open source.

You do that with my work and I WILL take legal action against you.

The floppy version of 3.16 is free to download and use.

If you want/need 3.16 in ROM then support the fact that someone on this planet gives a shit enough about continuing to develop for these machines.

Simple.

Rohan.

PS: Thanks go to those that have supported the project to date. A lot of you know already that there is more to come.

Nope ... Mike Goins is the "owner of MIDICASE" and the host for download purposes of "my MPC3000 software update product" that gets given away for free as a floppy boot version.

Just making a point...

Good ... just remember that you shouldn't offer to try duplicating some-one elses work without their express permission.

The 3.11 OS images are in the files area of the MPC3000 group of yahoo. Feel free to grab them. They represent the ROM image versions of AKAI's last public FLOPPY boot release.

Mike Goin's owns the site and is responsible for a large part of content including the MPCEDITOR software which he writes.

I am the owner/developer of the MPC3000 operating system updates post version 3.12 and thank Mike over and over for providing download bandwidth for same.

Thanks also to all those that contribute to the project.

BTW: Hiredesign. PM me if you want to have a real tech talk off list about the MPC60 SCSI board and what it's made of.

Peace.

Rohan.

they only just make a bigger version of whats on the screen though, nothing fancy

By sequoia1232 Thu May 18, 2006 6:36 pm
Thanks, I tried cimple spares and even though they list them on the site, they don't have them. Sound logic is out too. I realize it is only a bigger version of what's on the screen, that would still help me. If any one wants to part with one, I'll pay top dollar. If your not using it, pull it out of your 3000, I'll even send the blank panel to fill the gap left on the back of the 3000. I've got paypal! THANKS

I dealt with those guys once and it wasn't a pleasant experience. I'd be pretty suprised if they would go out of their way to help me with that, but I guess anything is worth a try. Thanks again AM.
