A few facts about the Acramatic controls:

The A2100 hard drive has the single highest control failure rate
Spare parts are becoming more costly and are harder to get
The Acramatic 2100 control has been taken out of production
The current drive takes 3-4 minutes to initialize
Screen update times are slow due to the out-of-date technology



Benefits:

Flash drives have no moving parts thus increase your reliability dramatically
Flash drives are not effected by vibration and heat, the biggest causes of failure
Flash drives have faster read/write rates which improve control intialization speed
Flash drives have faster seek times which improve screen update speed
Reduce machine downtime and eliminate costly repairs of the out-of-date hard drives
