Members Lord Toranaga Posted February 26, 2008 Members Share Posted February 26, 2008 I think HD limit is 128GB, not 100% sure though. are you in Athens Georgia, or Athens Greece?roland may sell you an expander. I cant seem to find one i found one herehttp://www.copystars.com/roland_mv8_vga_mouse_expansion_21175_prd1.htm http://resonoise.com/prod/Recording/ROLMV8VGA http://www.trumpetgeek.com/instruments/by-manufacturer/roland/groove-production/roland-mv8-vga-mouse.html in the past, I have had luck calling a list of roland dealers until I find what I am looking for. http://www.musiccenterinc.com/detail.php?&model=MV8VGA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it will work or not, you might want to check with the mvnation.com board. Roland has explicitly stated that it is not supported.

Members The Audacity Works Posted February 27, 2008 Members Share Posted February 27, 2008 One guy on MV Nation a while back claimed to get a 120GB drive to work. He also found a 1GB RAM stick that was recognized by the MV, but was displayed as "24MB" (as in 1024MB). I think he bought it from either newegg.com or oempcworld.com.

I said it wasn't supported from Roland. Also 1G of RAM bit, from what I understand from the MVNation board, is that it will installinto the machine and the machine will boot up , and it will show the "24M" for 1024M but try to load up more then 512M of RAM of samples... from my understanding it won't work. they were only able to load up 512M of Samples at one time..

I never said it was supported by Roland. I said some guy on an internet forum claimed it would work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
