Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hello MPC heads!!!
I love my old 2K and have always worked it with the old diskettes, since external zips were always a headache, but I must confess that I´d love to have sum sort of upgrade installed like a zip or even better a flash card reader (wow that´d be nice)...I´ve seen people doing that even to the old Mpc 60, so why not the 2000??? Does anybody know if that is possible?
If there´s a praticular type, brand, model of a zip or again, even better flash driver...
later...all that installation process, but let´s not get into that now, I´m just wondering if that´s actually possible!
Thanks fellas!
easy yo!

Yes its possible. If not a card reader I recommend a MO Drive (One of the stablest form of data storage).

Cool!!! That´s a good start, have you done anything similar???
Is it really like opening the machine, disconnect the cables for the floppy drive and connect a flash or MO reader to it?
Or there´s a praticular model for this thing, I think a flash card reader woud be good enough, but will make a research about this MO drivers...Never heard about them before.
Thanks 4 the help, easy!
