My MPC 2000 will not read scusi

Hey guys,

I am having issues with my 2000 not going to scusi. Actually what happens it kind of freezes up. I hit,

Funct. Disk
Move the dial past floppy, past flash then i get

waiting........................................ and my mpc will just stay there. Like it wants to do something but does not. I have rebooted and disconnected the Scusi and still no avail. Has anyone else had this problem. Any advice would be great. Thanks!

im not sure about the classic 2000, but i remember i always went to load and it said 'scsi not ready!' panicked... and then i realized that a disk wasn't in my zip drive. i put a disk in and it found the scsi device and disk. try to switch it with a disk in your zip. not sure if this is a solution, but its worth a try. use a blank disk/disk you dont care about just to be safe...

good luck!

what scsi device is connected?

does the device have a terminator placed on it?

well personally I am curious to know if it is a CD rom.. because they can be problematic.

I guess its the SCSI fuse. Its blown and you need to desolder the old one and get a new fuse. Be wise and buy a socket for the new fuse. Makes life easier when the fuse blows again.

peace
