Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By bervooby Wed Dec 03, 2008 6:02 pm
I have a PC card with 26 pin and the correct cable to hookup to SCSI plug in back of 2000xl (HD50 to 26pin PC card). I have not hooked it up yet as MPC is still being shipped.

How will I be able to use this connection to my benefit? Will I be able to use PC as a storage device? Will PC be able to do anything with those files if it can read them?

I was using this setup with an old SP sampler, but did not get very far in figuring out what I could actually accomplish with this type setup.

Thanks, any advice would help.

Your cable will not work. That's not how the 2k/2kxl was designed.

mpc scsi cable is for an external scsi slave device (no parallel combo devices either). Not a pc.

Thanks..... Just got the same answer from my new buddy who has produced on 2000xl.

I think I might have to get an external 250 zip to get files from mpc to laptop.
