Ribbon Cable 4 Mv8-op?

Post by AtticaEnumbrea »

Hello,

So I bought the Mv8-op audio expansion for my Roland MV8800. I took the back off and went to install it and realized neither inside, or on the expansion board, was a RIBBON CABLE to connect the two.

I called Roland and they said they no longer support the product and would neither tell me what the ribbon cable is or how to order one. Sheeeot.

Should I take it to a CPU specialist and see if they know? My brother who fixes this stuff for a living couldn't even figure it out.

Any MV8800 users or smart people have any ideas for next steps? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Got it - thank you very much kindly. Just ordered one and hopefully it will do the trick! For future reference for any one out there, the best one I could find is below.

Thanks again!
