Hey guys, just got my first MPC, and it's the 2000XL.
Anyway, the guy had a zip drive already in the machine so I checked it out. It was working fine!
However, I think I may have accidentally set the "Device" to "SCSI0". Now I can't change it back.
What I tried:
1) Now, I can't use my cursor at all to go down to change it (the cursor is stuck at "View: All Files"). It just won't respond to go neither down, up, left, or right. The cursor buttons are usually responsive in other menus, like every 1 or 2 times it WON'T work, but within this load menu, it doesn't work at ALL!
2) I tried using the wheel to navigate, but I keep getting spammed with the message "NO SCSI DEVICE", to the point where I can't even change the "View:All Files" more than one time every 6-7 seconds due to the constant spam of the message when I try to move the scroll wheel. If I get lucky, I can change the file type, but this is pointless for my problem. I just mention this because it seems to be a similar error of unresponsiveness.
3) I tried clicking F4 to go into the "SETUP" mode (after being in the load menu) and I noticed I could change "Primary Drivers" to "ATAPI", one of the several SCSI drives, or F-ROM. I tried all of them, but how do I select them? Clicking enter does nothing... And I tried just leaving it there, but that also doesn't fix the problem! I still can't load the ZIP drive that was working before!
How the hell do I switch back to ATAPI so I can use the ZIP Drive? If there's something wrong with this item, I need to know so I can return it on eBay.. it seems that the buttons aren't responsive =/
