Hi, I've bought an 2kXL that came with the MPCSTUFF cf reader installed - however there's no ATAPI option on the load menu, only F-ROM, Floppy, SCSI etc. I've opened the box and unplugged / flipped / replugged what I could but still the ATAPI is missing from the device selection. I'm running on 1.2 and using a vetted card that works on my friend's 2kxl...from the forums Ive read it seems like there's a power issue from the CF reader to the board, and so after my attempts at making sure everything was snug, am I to think that the reader needs replacing? Another issue is that when I boot the MPC with the card in, all the lights on the machine turn on and the screen is blank, while if booted with the reader empty, the unit functions just fine, (still with tho ATAPI).
Sorry if this is an ancient problem that keeps getting solved - this seems to be a hot topic but a lot seems left unanswered in most of the threads regarding this specific problem, and the other threads that tackle more technical-jumper-ribbon- issues have images which have expired from their host site.
Ive reached out to MPCSTUFF but haven't heard back for a few days.
