hey dudes. hope you can help.
tried loading an .ALL onto my MPC4k from a Zip Disk i used to use on my MPC2K back in the day. Get following error message:

"Device Illegal Request (31b)"

Other files fromt this zip disk load okay. just this one file - AND IT'S THE ONE I REALLY NEED!! Sod's law, hey!

Does anyone have any advice?

this happened to me recently with some kung fu mp3 samples i found randomly and figured id give a try. They didnt work, so I just dropped the project since they were mp3s in the first place. I got the same message as you, and I just assumed it was due to the bit rate, but without a proper convertor on my mac i can't be sure that would've solved the problem.
