Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By cbryson Mon Feb 21, 2005 5:51 pm
I recently tried to update from version 1.14 to 1.20 on my mpc 2000xl. I downloaded the file in winzip and tried to load the MPC 2000XL.bin file into the mpc and got nothing. The screen just reads loading MPC2XL.BIN and thats it. I tried several new floppy disk and still no luck. Any suggestions?

did you format the floppy? i upgraded to 1.20 on sat and this is what i did:

formatted floppy as FAT (i use windows xp)
unzipped the bin file and copied to floppy

this worked first time for me so apologies but i can't suggest any more help than that...good luck though!

"I recently tried to update from version 1.14 to 1.20 on my mpc 2000xl."

Why? Unless you are installing an ATAPI reader in the MPC, there is no need (there is a risk of damaging the MPC by updating the OS and it failing).
