What will happen if I remove the CF card while writing, or disconnect the USB cable while writing to the card or HDD?
You can swap cards in and out at any time, but doing it while reading or writing is asking for trouble, so don’t. It’s a good policy to leave Load/Save mode before inserting or removing a card. In USB mode, always gracefully “eject” or “safely remove” the drive(s) at the PC before removing the cable. You could lose data: not just the data you write, but any data on the card or HDD, if the File Allocation Table (FAT) is corrupted. If you have a PC or Mac with a CF interface, you can run the normal disk checkers to fix the card format, otherwise, your only recourse is to reformat the card or drive in the MPC1000, losing all data that you don’t have backed up.
