Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

"LOOK THE LASTES OS 1.72 DOES NOT SUPPORT MULT CARD READER ONLY THE XL"

Idiot alert.

"IDE drive in a SCSI box "

I've done this. ATAPI/IDE card readers behave just other ATAPI/IDE devices such as HD and CD readers. There is nothing special about them being a "card reader". It does not have cooties.

The problem with this is that the SCSI-IDE bridges alone cost more than just a SCSI reader itself.

When the man speaks he speaks wisodm!

Thanks mpc3000

So my options are
    1 Get a SCSI card reader
    2 Do the IDE in a SCSI box with a bridge thing
    3 Get my 2000 modified by Forat or Rogue music
    4 Sell the 2000 and get an XL and put a frickin' IDE card reader in it.


I wonder what I'll do...?
Thanks to everyone who contributed to this.
good bye and happy beat mangling
