MPC 2000 with external scsi cdrom?

Is this possible? I'm thinking this is way more cost effective as you can buy a used scsi cdrom from ebay for less than 30 and a db 25 cable from various sellers on ebay. I want to know is this compatible with the mpc 2000 if not i will just save up more and buy the mpc 2000xl. Lastly is there an external scsi card reader for the mpc 2000?

yes i did do a couple of searches and thoroughly read many posts.

I did not buy the machine yet that's why im asking now so i know if i have the capabilities. Im 14 and have 750 and cannot waste it. So i gotta make this buy count.

check the akai pro website for the manual. it's downloadable. and readable.

So don't waste money homie, check out that manual. I wouldn't be trying to tell you if I didn't think it couldn't help you. Check the manual.

KK i just checked it and says the mpc 2000 does support some cdrom drives? My final question is can the mpc 2000 og run a scsi cf reader, or should i just go ahead and buy a mpc 2000xl and a atapi cf reader. Lastly I checked the manual and it did not say anything bout cf readers. I did some searches on the net for the IISMDC i think thats what its called and they only have them for sale at scsi4samplers.com for about 120 USD. Am I getting ripped off here?

are there any cons of using a zip than a cf reader. Whats the click of death?

ok lampdog can you answer my question bout the zip drives and click of death?
