Best CF Card

Sorry for the re-post, but I figured that this would be better suited in this forum (copied and pasted):

I know this has probably been covered before, and I think I even saw this once in a thread somewhere but I've been searching all day and I can't find it here or on the AkaiPro site soo...

What's the recommended brand of Compact Flash for the MCD 2000XL?
Also, I see all these at Best Buy:

Sh*t, sorry for the long ass link - but would any of these work for transferring files back and forth between my MPC 2000XL MCD and my G4 Mac?

Nobody knows the Brand name joe?...

TOOK THE WORDS OUT OF MY MOUTH CF IS ALL IUSE DANE ELEC AND PNY 2GS. BOTH FULL USAGE NO PARTICTONING PC TO MPC NO PROB

Really? You don't have to partition those CF cards to two 1 gigs? I thought the MPC 2000xl only read 1 gig cards?

i guess thier more compatible to the unit then most using os 1.20 who's to say.

good thread. just bought myself a 2gb pny 266x. can the mpc read/write that fast? dunno. dont care. my pc can and that gonna make transferring them samples to the card in the first place much faster.

good looks fam. big up the mpc-forums massif

Ha, my bad - I'm computer illerate. I just do art on it, can't f*ck with that html-link sh*t.

how the hell am I supposed to partition that CF card?? I got the partiotion magic but no luck. Same from within the mpc since it cannot recognize any partitions for it...

From the looks of what people are saying if you got a DANE or PNY brand 2 gig and the 1.20 OS you shouldn't even have to partition it. I think you can download the newest OS from Akai's site if you don't have it.

I have a 2 GB kingston and the 1.20 OS and unfortunatelly while it reads everything fine from the CF, I can't save anything to it cause of some failure. So I guess I just need to partiotion that CF but I don't know how.

this is from another site and its for zip drives but i think this works for your CF too if it's set as your current drive:

You have to partition zip disk when using a zip drive with your MPC because you are restricted in the number of files. The limit is a 100 files per partition. It is usually best to partition the zip disk into 4 parts (A, B, C, D). It is easy to create partitions:

1) enter the Disk Menu (Sift + 3)
2) enter the Format submenu
3) specify the number of partitions (e.g. A-B for two A-D for Five)
4) Press DO IT

not really sure. its one of the standard ones u can pick from not a custom av.

Well the problem is that in the load screen, I can't get the number of partitions although I have my card reader as my default drive...
