Question: 
Can current generation MAP cassettes (mXXX) be used in a MAP+2M00 or MAP+2B00 mainframe?
Answer: 
The MAP+2M00 (8-slot) and MAP+2B00 (3-slot) are mainframes from the legacy MAP platform (predecessor to MAP-200). They are discontinued as of Jan 2010 and no longer supported. None of the MAP-200/MAP-300 cassettes (mXXX) are compatible with that platform and therefore cannot be used in those mainframes.
