Well the PQI 512 on outpost.com (or at Fry's Electronics same thing) is only $89.99 after rebate ($109.99 before rebate) with a 1 year warranty! although it's a weird brand name, I swear by that card. It actually uses Toshiba technology. I bought mine for $170.00 5 months ago. But this card has...
You can upgrade your mr8 with your card reader and win98. If you click here and download the file called mr8v105.zip, the update will include a file that gives you instructions on how to do just that:

YEAH! I can't believe you musicians didn't know that!!!
Dude, all I want is a fucking hard drive somehow attached to my MR-8 through the CompactFlash card slot while retaining the ability to connect the machine to my computer via USB with such ease. Is that possible, PeteHalo?
i have been searching everywhere for an adapter to adapt the compactflash socket to IDE without letting the mr8 know. i found one but there are some technicalities that keep it from working. I have spoken to embedded systems engineers and they have little faith in that working. Also. since the...
Damn! Pretec will have a 6 gb CF card available by this year! Too bad it is coming out at $7500.00 US. Well don't worry, they offer a 3gb right now for $2000.00 for those on a budget. lol.
Thanks. I really need a new drum brain though. Maybe one of those TD-10s. I am just not satisfied with these hi-hat sounds. When i play rolls on the closed hi hat, it sounds so un-natural. There's something about it that I can't put my finger on.
So now i am available for laying drums tracks...
OK. So I finally got a chance to plug my new (used) electronic drum kit, the Roland TD-7 that I got last Tuesday, in to my MR-8. I hit record and beat on 'em for about two minutes. Here's 40 seconds of that session. THIS IS ONE TAKE! So please don't think this is the extent of my drumming skills...
I have experienced noises in my headphones only while adjusting certain knobs (slight trim adjustments or effects) during recording. Static-y noises. But only through the headphones output though. It did not effect the recording (thank god). It still pisses me off though.
It seems like they...
'toasting your machine' isn't a risk. if it is as easy as the mr8 is to update, there's really no reason not to upgrade. I am one of those guys that always has the newest edition of everything (especially if it cost nothing to get the newest edition) though so that might be just my opinion.
Are you running those monitors from one of your "Headphone Out" jacks? Because sometimes when you turn on your MR8 the integrated headphone amp will nastily distort the signal until you turn it off and then back on. it's just the output though. the recording stays in tact.
