Akai MPC 2000 with 8-outs, SCSI2SD Plug In Drive

I installed the AKAI IB-208P 8 output board.

I added the SCSI2SD v5.5 which plugs in to the MPC! You will need an android power cord going to it, but this could be run to the USB port on a surge protector or I would take the USB right to the wall. They don’t recommend going to a computer because I think the power fluctuates more.

New Pad Sensors.

There is no floppy cable, it was used for the 8 out board. The floppy drive is fully functional, but the MPC is booting off the SCSI2SD which has the latest system software.

I will transfer the Chicken Systems Translator to you. It is useful software if you have a fast computer. It is unusable if you have a slow computer. Backups are fast on any computer. Translating from your computer to the SD card is fairly fast on fast machines, but will drive you crazy on a slow machine. I had a mac mini 2012, a 2.5 i5 and it was unworkable. However, a machine I built in 2010 worked great as the processor was a 3.84 i3. This gives the device more modern capabilities if you don’t like to chop on the machine. ”
