Hi guys,
I just recently bought my first mpc 2000xl that was sold for parts or needed repair. I figured I’d see if I could fix it up because it looks like it’s in very good condition. When I turn on the machine all the led lights turn on and the screen displays the name of the machine, mpc2000xl, and stays on that screen without advancing to the operating system. I was told that the Zip drive was not connected so I took a look at that and it seems the Data cable is connected but the power cable was missing. I bought the power/ Data floppy wire cables from I love my mpc and a floppy disc with the operating system OS v1.20 and I’m just waiting for them to arrive in the mail but I’m not sure if that will fix the problem. Anybody have any ideas on what I should do to get this machine running again? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
