Hi all,
I've decided to crack open my MPC 2000 Classic and give it an internal Compact Flash card reader upgrade. I've found lots of threads but I see lots of mixed advice. Was hoping to make a clean how-to thread, then I'll make a how-to video for future MPC owners to use. This would be a guide only for the MPC 2000 Classic not the MPC 2000 XL.
1) From my understanding, the easiest way is to use the external 25-pin SCSI port, plug in a 25-pin male ribbon cable, and drape in back inside the MPC 2000 classic, correct?
2) Then use a 25-pin female SCSI to 50-pin male SCSI adapter
3) Then plug a CF card reader (easily found on eBay) with 50-pin female SCSI into the adapter?
This may be completely wrong, but I wanted to get the ball rolling and course correct before I made a step by step video.
*I also saw some guides saying you can use the internal SMPTE slot and use an adapter to make it into a 25-pin SCSI, but I'm not sure how that works.
Any guidance from you experts would be super appreciated. Looking forward to making this how-to guide. Thanks
Below are photos of what I have so far.
