I believe OS 3.2 was on the last batch of MPC60II's and if you have that hen you won't really need 3.10 because it already does things that the 3.10 can pretty much.

It's been a while but there are some real differences between them.
It's better than v2 but not the same as 3.10e.
If I remember I'll post, but there's somethings really missing.
dreadnutz, how cheap is cheap?

No floppy update to make it jump to 3.10E.

3.10E needed to work with the MARION SCSI OPTION.

Dont worry, you would need a $300 expansion board to use SCSI on the 60 anyway.

ja klar....
aber was nützt es mir wenn ich ein os habe, wo kein scsi möglich ist... :wink:

oh thats an english speaking forum, ups....

another question:

how hard is it to update the eprom?

are there any pictures or infos available?
as far as i understand i only have to solder the old eprom out, put the new one into the mpc and i am ready to go, right?
or do i miss something?


think i will try the 3.02 when its not to difficult....

By dreadnutz Tue Dec 18, 2007 8:27 pm
hey thx!!!

didnt know this...
cool that i dont need a soldering-iron...

i will go for the 3.02

scsi is not primary, but the other software features are essential (cause i switched from the 25k jjos)

i got 3.02 and the scsi works fine... but 5 sec sampling time. AND i think (i've just begun and got it hooked to a s 950) you can't keep a sequence if you want to record new sound... since i just record to the 950 i havn't figured out yet, but can check when i get home

Wow really you can't record a new sound without losing the existing sequences? Someone on here said that this doesn't happen with OS 3.02 he must of been full of BS.

Yesss, now i've checked, you can't keep sequences when sampling new sounds...
