As I understand it, in most productions these days, "808 type sounds" often tend to either be sampled (and manipulated), or synthesized from something else.
In other words, whether Kanye had access to an original 808 or not, the Akai MPC you see in the picture probably also played a prominent role. :) I also understand Kanye's big on using an old Ensoniq ASR-10 for sampling duties.
