Hi!
I was dwelling through posts in this forum to find some informations about why is not working but
after at least 6 hours of searching can't find anything that matches my problem.
So a while ago I recieved a literally brand new mpc 2000xl on my Bday. I got soo gassed because it's like in 'mint' condition, running perfectly. It have one problem tho. It seems like it doesn't see the card reader at all. I opened my MPC and I found which card reader it is.
Startech Card Drive/ IDE adapter (not hot swappable as it's not ATAPI)
https://business.currys.co.uk/catalogue ... lsrc=aw.ds
Im a laic in those electric stuff, so as every laic I opened mpc, disconnected card reader, tried to swap the cables, put together again and surprise surprise....
I achived nothing by doing this .
Im not sure if it's the card reader itself, or maybe card have too much space(1gb). The problem is I don't have any internal memory in my MPC2000xl so to play with it I have to look for the alternative storage solution as mate got rid of perfectly working floppy drive .
I also think about giving up on card reader and get external/internal SCSI hard drive but as I read the forum it's not recommended due to noisiness.
I am sorry if there is a post on this forum with a solution to this problem but I did not find one.
Please help.
I will add that he did an upgrade of OS to 1.2 already.
