Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By matt35 Thu Jan 03, 2008 8:11 pm
Looking at buying one for my akai as all i have is the standard drive and a
zip drive and this is not too reliable i have been told.

does anybody know where you can pick these up for a reasonable price
in the uk...and what are the benefits?

thanks any advice much appreciated...

You used to be able to pick up card readers from computer/electronic stores pretty cheap but it seems they don't carry them anymore.

If I was you I'd get one from a service center. I read on here that addonics had a mpc compatible card reader/writer but my friend just ordered it and it doesn't work. You need an IDE/ATAPI card reader/writer.

Good luck...

I purchased the Addonics AEIDEDMD4B a few weeks ago. IT DIDN"T WORK WITH THE MPC!!!! Now I have to return it and pay a restocking fee of 15%.

I just ordered the MCD kit from VST last night. I should have done that in the first place.

Exactly what my friend and some other people have experienced...That particular addonics card reader that worked with the mpc2000xl has been discontinued/replaced with another one that isn't compatible with the xl.

Does VST still have them cause? I know MPC Stuff is saying that they are waiting for there shipment but when the hell is that it's been like 3 mos. and my friend still hasn't got his. They don't even make these anymore unless they are the black ones.

I talked to Nicholas at VST last night, he took my order and it is now on the way. So, yeah. VST has them.
