Hello, Why not posting a screen shot of your Mfx2 when it is at the "BOOT ROM" step ? This gives a lot of information about the configuration. It is often done this way on eBay.... Regards. Laurent.

Hi James, In fact the 9 gig drives are perfect as they will format to 4095 megabytes and function perfectly. There is no advantage to having a 4 gig drive at all over a 9 or 36 gig drive. The latter are often easier to find. Regards, James Thomson Magic Audio Co. The Studio West
