Repair Akai MPC 3000 Reparatur

My customer wanted to have a new display and a new sd-card reader installed into his Akai MPC 3000. I bought the display in the internet. Not quite cheap but it worked well. It’s dark blue and crispy clear and has a great contrast.

I also bought the scsi2sd (Stratos Technology SD SusanoMonster for SCSI SD card reader) card reader via internet. Cable and adapter were included. I found out, that I couldn’t manage it to run under the existing OS 3.11.

But my customer also wanted to have Vailaxi OS installed and it works very well together. Initially I had this error…

but this was quickly solved by the right settings within the MPC SCSI page. Press DISK, 9, 5 “Make SCSI Active” Set “Multi Sector Transfer” to “OFF” Soft Key 1

If you need to play with the termination or SCSI ID you can set it here.
