mpc2000 circuit board diagram

is it the RP2040 ? (mini ?)
Do you have an sd card (formated) inside ? if so, there should be some error logs generated. this would greatly help. If not logging enought, put the https://github.com/ZuluSCSI/ZuluSCSI-fi ... luscsi.ini file at the root level, set debug to 1 (uncomment).
you wanna look after zululog.txt
Plug the zulu before powering on the mpc

Oh wow, I didn’t know it did this.
Can I format it outside thd mOC i.e on a mac.
I am waiting for an adapter to use with my XL but am currently in a chicken an egg scenario in regards to formatting with the mpc.
Sounds promising though thank you

on the mac, use diskutils to format the sd as fat.
drop the ini file at the root level

you can also add a empty virtual harddrive like HD0.hda : launch the terminal and paste the command mkfile -n 1g HD0.img for example.

in the mpc you will format the hd0 one.
you can create 6 virtual hd, just avoid hd6 as scsi 6 is reserved on the 2000 (if i remember well)

I have just joined github and started a new thread Mpc 2000 zulu scsi zip not working 424
is that correct?

All right, the zulu is working perfectly.

Which os version are you running on the mpc ? 1.20 ? Do you have a os floppy disk to boot from?

Boot rom 1.00 OS 1.72
it is MPC 2000 (not XL)

what does the mpc display ? scsi not ready ?

The OS really slows down on each selection of SCSI id, when you get to 5 it hangs on waiting.
And yes I have changed the scsi fuse twice

oki doki
Are we talking about the zip drive or the zulu, i get confused.
let's stick with the zulu.
have you created the HD0.img stuff as stated before on your mac ? because your logs clearly shows that it's not the case (or with inappropriate naming convention)
if so, once the sd + zulu plugged into your mpc, select scsi-0, and format it from the mpc. if this work, then you are done

Thanks for these steps and I will go through them.
I am in no doubt the Zulu will work but unfortunately my hardware is not working so cannot test it yet until I receive an adaptor for my XL to try it on.
