Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By jtheaudiophile Sat Sep 13, 2014 3:47 pm
In researching external CF/SCSI drives for my MPC 2000 classic I came across this site from a post in this forum years ago:

http://www.stratos-technology.com/cgi/S ... TileViewer

The parts that it seem I need are the following:

http://www.artmix.com/CF_powermon_II.html

http://www.artmix.com/BakMonolith.html


My questions are:

Has anyone ordered from this site recently?

Has anyone used the CF/SCSI mod in the links that I have listed?

If so, can I use any CF card or are there specific brand/specs that I need to use with my MPC 2000 classic.

Thank you in advance for your help.

Are those internal drives non-hot-swap? What is the maximum allowed size cf card?

Have you checked out http://www.mpcstoragesolution.com

External hot-swappable cf (and even SD/microSD cards too) using pcmcia adapter which is compatible with mpc2000 using 1.72 operating system. Check them out. They usually throw in optional accessory at no extra cost. Just check them out and ask questions.

Peace
