Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

:?: I've got an MPC2000xl and been sent a 'ZIP Pus 100' drive. I haven't tried them together yet as I am awaiting the HD50 to DB25 SCSI cable. I noticed that some of you have had problems with this combination and thought I'd find out a bit more from someone with first hand experience before I go any further. First of all, am I wasting my time in trying to get these two to communicate? I have a copy of the ZIP PLUS manual and was alarmed to read:
'You can use your ZIPplus drive as the only connected device on any SCSI connection that matches the AUTODETECT cable........The ZIPplus drive does not support Fast-SCSI 2 connections or 50 pin or 30 pin high density interface connectors.'
Does this refer to the connectors only or the entire device?
I would be greatful for some feedback as I don't want to waste my time with this combo if someone out there can tell me it ain't worth it. Please send me any useful tips.

just get one of them internal drives with the akai zip kit and you'll be set...a lot less headaches, trust me....
