Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hey. My MPC2000XL has been ruined since years ago (pads stopped working).

I have another MPC, older version of MPC2000XL: MPC2000. I want to work on it again, but it has only floppy to save on. This is very annoying since floppy's are full with 1.44 MB already. I used to have a ZIP drive, but this still doesn't work the way I want it.

I'm looking to put my inbuild MPC2000xl SD to my MPC2000, is this possible? If it is not possible, how, or where can I get a SD cardreader for my MPC2000?

Would love to produce music again on my MPC.

Thanks!

2kxl had an ide port on motherboard for the card reader.
2k classic doesn’t have the port on the motherboard.

For 2k classic you will need a scsi device.

Plenty of advice/suggestions for 2k readers on the forums in threads..

Did you change the pad sensors in your MPC 2000XL?
