i think i organize me a Flash modul and try it.
i will let you know if it works.
i also have an IIsdmc Flash Multicard reader for my sp-808, but i'm searching for an alternative cause i want to have an alternative if suddenly my Flashcard reader died or something else .

i saw one on ebay with a flash card reader in it... forgot to message the guy if it actually worked but now its gone... let me know how you get on cause im gonna have to sell it if i cant upgrade.. the zip thing just gets too much after a while

[paranox]

unfortunenatly the Flash-Module doesn't work.

Hi!
What card reader and compact flash do you use?

[paranox]

i use the IISDMC card-reader and 512mb compact flashcards from sandisk transzden and Jessops.works fine.

Hey guys, I´m new here and searching since two days for a flash drive that will work on my new (old) 808.
Found this one: http://www.logilink.org/showproduct/PC0042.htm
What do you think? It´s does not support the hot swap function, but the rest of the specs seem to be fine…

Kind regards,
Mario.

i don't think that it will work.i have tried more than 10 cf cardreaders /adapters and as i Know threre are 2 that will work-Delock 91528 and IISDMC-
its difficult to became one of them.they're always out of stock.

if you found another solution please let me know!

Good Luck

Thanks for your answer… unfortunately i already bought it.
Another possible candidate i found is this:
http://www.scm-pc-card.de/index.php?lan ... uct_id=267

But there´s no information about the necessary Atapi Mode 4.
I think i will contact them and let you know.

As i read in other posts the most compatible CF Card for a working drive seems to be the SanDisk Ultra II
like offered here: http://www.ebay.de/itm/SanDisk-Ultra-II ... 3f2fa4187c

Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks,
M.

hi,
sorry for answering so late,

yes the san disks flash cards seems to be the best ones.
about the Addonics have i only read in other forum

https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/SP-808USERS/files

That they do not work.

By scm-pc-cards i have find one that would the sp808 sampling very well ,but you could only use the pad-banks not the song-strukture there.

[ZipSnipe]

Are you able to still use the sp808 wav converter program with the flashcard reader?

[paranox]

yes it works!

[ZipSnipe]

Sweet !!! I will be upgrading soon !!!! Just took my latest sp808 apart to solder in a few new buttons. I could tell the zip drive is very easy to change out and the cf reader is on Ebay for about $30.

[paranox]

Nice ,please tell me which modell is the cf-reader?

thanks

[ZipSnipe]

they are on ebay and they have to be hot swappable . I haven't done the swap yet as I really am deciding if the whine really bothers me that much. But if I do it, I will document the whole process. Unfortunately my pc needs updated first so it will a be a few months away before I do the swap.
