Does the compact flash slot problem persist on MkII?

Nope. The card is inside, the button is also 90% inside, parked. All I’m saying is, the button is prone to getting pushed / touched by accident. And it reacts to very low pressure. So, when this happens (it pops out) , you have to eject the card once, to get everything in place again.

I have removed and replaced my CF card a million times. There is no “compact flash slot problem” with the Octatrack.

I think it’s good to be concerned about doing it slowly and safely, it’s when a person gets all

EVERY MORNING I WAKE UP AND OPEN PALM SLAM MY CF CARD INTO THE SLOT. IT’S THE OT MKII AND RIGHT THEN AND THERE I START DOING THE MOVES ALONGSIDE WITH THE MAIN CHARACTER, DIGITONE. I DO EVERY MOVE AND I DO EVERY MOVE HARD. MAKIN WHOOSHING SOUNDS WHEN I SLAM DOWN

things get hairy

Sadly even when you’re careful you can still have an issue breaking pins, I know this all too well. :frowning:

Have you tried a different card? I’ve never used any CF reader that didn’t take a fair amount of force to eject, including the OT. Maybe the card you have doesn’t fit as tightly on the pins as it should for some reason.

Yeah, understood!

Obviously the “best” scenario is not removing the cards at all, if you can help it.
