USB floppy disk drive

Hey,

Maybe a little introduction before I ask my question. I'm a 21-year old student from Belgium who makes music. I like all kinds of music, but when it comes to making my own music I focus on Disco/house and Hip-Hop.
I think my question is kind of an ordinary question asked many times before. However I couldn't find it asked in this specific way on google. So I ask it here. Is it possible to transfer samples between my computer and a mpc 2000xl via a usb floppy disk drive after formatting the floppy disk with the mpc 2000xl? This might be a dumb question, because most modern samplers work that way. But when it comes to older samplers, I'm totally at sea. I hope someone can clear this up for me!

kind regards,

HWS

yes... but I suggest installing a compactflash card reader inside the 2000xl so it's even easier.

Also, remember especially when using floppies to keep the names of files below 8 characters so nothing gets messed up....

Alright thanks for the help! And for the tip, I'm not keen on installing these things myself since I'm an absolute cluts :p.

i still use loads of floppies... they are reliable. A pain since they don't hold much.... but they work. Now would a card reader be a bit better? yeah, but on some old machines they cost more than the machine itself.

haha
