Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By hpd Sat Apr 07, 2012 1:32 am
Hi everyone, first time posting, I purchased a used 2000xl recently and it came with this nice drive;

my question is, and I hope this hasn't already been answered here before, what are the best cards to use for this reader? Also is one gb the biggest card it can read? I am so excited to get going but am new to all of this, thanks for any suggestions.

Just found these now, based on some research on this forum this seems to be nice and compatible right?

Ive got a sandisk ultra II 2gb joint... it only registers it as 1 gb though, however i dont care cause it was cheaper than the 1gb version.

The 2000xl can only read upto 1gb ive got a 4gb in my machine an it only reads 1gb, but still thats alot of space compared to the floppy and zip drives. an plus it's silent now an thats a big plus for me coz it use to piss me off at times.

I got the 4GB card that you recommended and I still can't get the CF Reader to work
