No input. I have two, so one, no problem, the other, no signal.

Never heard of that issue - What are you feeding it?

Mic output. Usually lav. Otherwise with XLR to unbalanced TRS (R unconnected).

May have found the problem. One of the cables had a transformer, so the resistance couldn't tell be the wiring. On the balanced side it had +/- (red/white) to one side of the transformer, and ground and the lead from the cable to the other. Ground was connected to the shield which in turn went to the sleeve on a 3.5mm TRS. The problem may be that tip and ring are both linked the the yellow transformer output (there is a buried resistor between the yellow lead and the shield, which is connected to the other side on the secondary. If going into a TS it would have had both leads going to sleeve.

Would that have caused the problem? Would taking a stereo to mono airplane connector and just using the tip side avoid that problem?

With the other jacks the worst would have been connecting negative to ground.

tested with a 2GB silicondriveII CF card, recorded in WSD till full, played back smoothly. sustained write speed is 6MB/s according to the data sheet, more than enough for the ~672kB/s of stereo DSD64. card is ATA-5 and i have a feeling success in running this mod has more to do with ATA standards than random write speeds or SLC/MLC. will try again with a higher capacity – this card only holds about 48 minutes in 1-bit.

update 16.03.24 – tested a 32GB sandisk ultra 50MB/s CF card with a two-hour WSD recording. recording went well, closing the file went well, playback went well. i'm satisfied that this works. using a generic IDE ZIF adapter bought over amazon.

between this CF card replacement and an earlier battery replacement (EEMB 963450), this recorder feels new and modern again. nothing else in its size that i've seen has balanced inputs, so even imagining a replacement is a tall order even before taking into account binary recording. opening it up i was surprised and impressed by the RF shielding inside. it's a shame the included mic isn't shielded at all.

i owe everyone in this thread a debt of gratitude. i wouldn't have attempted either mod without you all.

so far, i can only get a CF card to work in software version 1.0.1, the later versions just freeze up on me and none of their updates are worth going back to the original HDD for me so i've downgraded back to 1.0.1, which is still available at korg's support site.

I have a MR-2 which uses 2 AA batteries and a SD card I can sell if that’s helpful.

ooh, i like that. i think maybe i'd run a molex out to the edge of the case to do something a little more modular. i've had issues powering through the barrel jack while recording in the past, it'd be good to bypass it.
