This is for the newbies or anyone still using Zip drives with their MPC2000 classic. Not many want to spend the money for a SCSI CF drive and stay with Zip drives since they're cheaper. But what many of you don't know is that you can buy an MO (Magneto Optical) drive and the disks for cheaper than Zip if you know what you're looking for. But I'll take all the legwork out and post all the deals I find on ebay.
This is listed as a tape drive. But it's an MO drive, and it's only $31.99.
It needs an IEC power cable and a SCSI cable which are cheap if you hunt down a bargain.

Then there's still the internal drives from this seller at $29. You supply the external case or the internal SCSI modification.

Killer deal on this nice and slim external drive...

Same model as above. But a bit more money. Still a killer deal for this particular model.

That's it for now. All those drives are compatible. If you got questions, hit me up. I'll post more bargains as I find them, including blank disks.
