MPC2000XL OS Difference between 1.2 vs. 1.14

I was drinking and made this.
I wanted to make sure you are claro on the differences of the two prominent MPC2000XL OS' 1.14(c) vs. 1.2.
I hate hearing myself talk so I already know I saw a lot of uhs and ahhhs.
Hope this helps.

Yes. Both OS 1.14 & 1.14c allows for multiple partitions depending on the Zip disk, cf card or hard drive size.

Whoops ... down-graded to 1.14 and now CF reader doesnt read anymore. Damn!

Any tips?

Still waiting for a good SCSI CD-Rom ...

BTW: whats a good internal 8GB drive to get?

You need to upgrade back to 1.2

The only IDE card readers that work with 1.14 are those that have on board controllers.

Yeah... my bad mate. I forgot some IDE/ATAPI card readers only work with OS1.2.
Specifically Addonics & StarTech CF card readers NEED to have OS 1.2 installed on the MPC2000XL for those specific card readers to work.
