Hi,

there are CF cards that do not work with MC-808. I had bought a set of cheap 1GB cards but they did not work. On computers they were working without problems.

So, have you tried cards from different manufacturers?

Also: The official limit is 1GB. Do you have bigger cards?

Bye, Dirk.

Hi,

there is and when i had problems with my ram i ran them. But i totally forgot the key combination that had to be pressed when switching it on.

I think it was something like [Shift]+[MuteAll]+[..........]

But have the data backed up to a computer as this procedure will overwrite the MC-808 memory.

Maybe you can find something in the net.

Bye, Dirk.
