Hello,

I have a problem, I recently bought a MPC 2000XL and I want to change the zip reader by a CF reader. So i Bought this:

CF Adaptater to SD: http://www.pearl.fr/cartes-memoire/lecteurs-de-cartes/adaptateurs/adaptateur-compact-flash-sd-sdhc-mmc-delock_TG1160.html
IDE 40 pins ribbon: http://www.abix.fr/nappe-disque-dur-ide-udma-66-100-3-connecteurs-0-60m-146410.html
1Gb SD: http://www.amazon.fr/gp/product/B000FGQOFO/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I already have the v1.2 and the previous was the 1.14c.
I tried to format my SD to FAT16/FAT32 but it don't work.

If someone know the issues. please I don't know what to do.

There are a few things it might be.

The 40-pin cable (ATA 66/100/133) you purchased has 80 wires. I had issues getting this kind to work with my MPC 2000XL so I ended up replacing it with a 40-pin (ATA 33) 40-wire cable. The pinouts for the two cables are the same, but for whatever reason I could not get the 80 wire on to work.

Many people have had issues using Transcend CF cards with the MPC 2000XL so I would expect the same from a Transcend SD card. Sandisk cards seem to have the most success reported here.
