Yea, Wren, it is probably worth that just for the reverb and fx, even analog at 20 bits.

Haha - Oh, I bought it - couldn't pass it up for $300.  I'm just debating whether to hang on to it or not.  If I keep it, I would probably invest in it a little more - get rid of the TDIF cards and replace them with a couple of ADAT and/or EAS/EBU cards.  I'm just not sure about the commitment of time, space, & money.  At 50, time is more & more precious!

But you're right at $300, I'll count my blessings - thanks!

Seriously... that's an amazing deal!
As long in the tooth as the 02R is... it's still a great piece of gear.
 

I have the 01V and it's from 1998. Still works great. The efx are actually the same chip as the old Yamaha SPX 900 which retailed for $900 each in those day.
Careful with the Phantom power the switches are small and there's no warning light, I zapped a pre amp. There is a Yahoo users group dedicated to keeping these old board alive. They are your best source for quirky behavior or parts.
This is for the 01v but there's also one for your board close buy on main page

I call mine the swiss army knife of mixers.

Thanks Jim & Johnny - kind of a no-brainer really.  I've just been researching how to get rid of the TDIF cards and picking up the ADAT and/or AES/EBU cards for it.  I've got the Lynx L22 with the ADAT daughter card and could also add the AES card if needed.

The good news is Yamaha stayed with the same format for those cards so there are lots of them around still. I seen an add for a new card the other day and dang if it didn't  look like it would fit in the old 01v!
Try that user group, they have a buy and sell section there somewhere. It's a terrible format but you can connect with the community and see if someone will trade .

Thanks Johnny - found it

Hello!  Do any of you know if the Yamaha 02R v2 supports Windows 7?  I'm considering buying one but need to make sure it has drivers avail...  Hope you all had a wonderful holiday.

Digital boards don't use Audio drivers. They connect using either SPDIF, MIDI or the ADAT cards which your computer needs the matching PCI card which will then have the drivers. 
My 01V intergrates with Sonar via SPDIF out to my interface. I could control the whole thing with MIDI ( ACT?) but see no use for this. I run my monitors through it for super easy routing and volume control. 
I track most vocals and instruments through it via the SPDIF because of the compressors and processing available. It's like having $10,000 worth of rack gear in a box. 

As Cactus sez you'll need an interface for the yamaha - and the interface has the drivers.  The 01V should have digital outs - you just need to match it up w/ your interface.  ADAT would probably be the best.  Lynx has pci cards w/ ADAT daughter cards, RME has several varieties, or you could get a FW interface w/ ADAT (my TC Konnekt has two ADAT in/outs).  I'm not sure what ADAT/USB interfaces are out there.
