Roland Clan Forums

Hello,

So I bought the Mv8-op audio expansion for my Roland MV8800. I took the back off and went to install it and realized neither inside, or on the expansion board, was a RIBBON CABLE to connect the two.

I called Roland and they said they no longer support the product and would neither tell me what the ribbon cable is or how to order one. Sheeeot.

Should I take it to a CPU specialist and see if they know? My brother who fixes this stuff for a living couldn't even figure it out.

Any MV8800 users or smart people have any ideas for next steps? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

34 pin ribbon cable. Commonly sold as floppy drive ribbon.

Got it - thank you very much kindly. Just ordered one and hopefully it will do the trick! For future reference for any one out there, the best one I could find is below.

Thanks again!

Yep it worked perfectly. 4 in is the exact length needed.
