Guide to installing new floppy drive on MPC 2000

By FullFaceScientist Sun Nov 15, 2009 1:18 pm
I already know it's just a standard floppy drive. I just wanna know how to do it (Step by step, ideally) because I've never needed to open up my MPC before..

Is it straightforward? How long would it roughly? Am I better off getting a new MPC? because the floppy load times are starting to bug me out.

Thanks in advance.

So wait.......you're thinking of selling your 2K because of a $5 dollar and 5 minute fix? :lol:

Come on bruh.You can get a floppy off ebay.Remove the face plate to get to the floppy,unhook the two wires in the floppy,replace it with the new one and hook the two cables back up.

If he can't install a floppy, he's definitely not going to be able to install a zip in it's place in a classic.
