No, you can't use it with your MP7 - only with actual samplers  
running the EOS operating system. That would be the E-Synth, E5000,  
E6400, Emulator IV, EIV Ultra, and EIV Platinum.

As for worth, the Orbit/Phatt Sessions ROM (what you have) and the E- 
Synth ROM (the other one for EOS samplers) are relatively infrequent  
on eBay, so they should probably fetch between $150 and $250. If you  
sell it, I'd start the auction at a relatively low value ($100 or so)  
and let the market determine the final value. And no, I'm not saying  
that because I've got an EOS sampler and I'm looking to score a deal  
(I don't) - it's just that you don't want to price yourself out of  
any possible market with an overly high starting value, since there's  
likely not a group of previous auctions to examine and use to  
determine a good market value.
