I guess you have checked already http://www.rolandus.com/support/downloa … _apps.aspx

Seems that there's disk for 500mk but it doesn't say it's mk2 .. Just MC-300 and MC-500 System MRC (PC - 149K)

Maybe you could ask Roland wink Somebody said that 'roland sent me both MRC and SUPER MRC operating systems for free. but the manuals cost me.'

Yeah same shit, Mk2 or normal one works both but I can't get it on a floppt because I don't have a floppy drive anymore on the computer

That's not a big problem I guess, I'm sure someone has one or you could buy usb floppy drive for peanuts these days I guess..

Will that work with a HD floppy? Because I think the MC is DD or not??

Yeah I think the mc is DD .. So hd formatted floppy wouldn work. But you can format hd floppy to dd (720k) on pc if you can't find a dd floppy anymore in shops.. Just when formatting you have to put some commandline switch, should be easy. I think it should work that way .. Though to be sure I'd use dd floppy ..
