i think i might connect them following, from the motherboard of the classic, not pin 1 that goes to 1 but pin 1 to 34. i need to try other possible connections, but thats just a waste of time, i need some photos coming from that scenario: s3000xl out and 2k classic


Hi did you ever find the photos to work out how to connect this? I have an output board with a ribbon on it that has the red line a different way to any other picture I have seen and it's not removable. I can buy an extension but still need to work out which way to plug it into the MPC2000XL motherboard, maybe ingnoring the red line. :Sigh:

I've also checked it with&without:
- ZIP drive
- RAM
- 8OUTs card IB-M208P from S3000XL unit

Hi again, alfter long battle I've come across a guy that has a MPC repair shop and solved the issue.

Diagnosis: No communication between motherboard and 8-output card

Replaced/fixedparts:
resistor ladder and regeneration of SDATA-SCLK line on Mobo

Hope it helps someone!
