Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

@streetwalker
could you check if it's hot swappable?

if it is, I might order one after all
(for me, being able to load the samples faster then a zip-drive is priority n° 1 )

and by the way, thanks for the information!

It works! Not sure if it is hotswappable though but at £25 you can't complain.

You have to be running OS 1.20 and put the jumper on the opposite pin that it arrives on (there's only two choices)

Good luck!


and it definitely writes as well as reads yeah? i don't want to make the same mistake again!


Sh*t, i didn't try it properly yet - will let you know.


cheers. and what was the problem with getting it to work in the first place?


Fu*k, it's read only - would changing the jumper make it write?


i doubt it. the jumper probably justs sets to slave or master and it won't work at all as slave. although im not expert.

shame - was getting reader to order one!


That's the second drive i've tried now. I might just fork out for the one from MPCStuff and be done with it.

I don't know, it let's me put in the CF after it's turned on but if i take it out and put it back in it freezes so i don't think it is hotswappable. If you do want to buy one for the read only feature i can sell you this one for £15 - let me know.
