mpc 60 yes the mpc 1000 no they use a funny connection ribbon so you can 
only get the lcd screens from them they did the same with the s1000 upto the 
s3200xl special modules biult for them also the mpc2000 range

so that they can charge \ufffdxxx.xx in money for them when they cost max of 
40-80 pounds
