ZIP PROBLEMO

After browsing through forums, and realizing that a zip disk would ease my life a great deal(I have dozens of disks scattered all over my desk..that take forever to load)….I went out and ordered one on ebay. $50 bucks “buy it now”, including 8 zip disks..so im thinking “good deal…I can work with that”.

I get the package today…and the SCSI is TOO BIG! for the SCSI on the back of my 2000xl. I cant really return it…so Im just going to try and use this zip disk with my vs880…but can someone plain and simple tell me …..Where can I get an EXTERNAL (I don’t want to give up my floppy) ZIP DRIVE for the MPC2000XL.?

I was unaware of the different sizes and types of SCSI…and since everything is USB nowadays, It looks as though I need to find used gear.
thanks y'all

you gotta get a 50 pin male to 25 pin male cable.

thanks man...

I actually was so frustrated I called up AKAI and they told me exactly whre I could get taht 50pin--25 pin converter. Cost me an extra 30 bucks...but hopefully all will work out.

thanks
