Does your floppy drive still work on your MPC? If so go to your local library or find someone who has a floppy drive on their PC and save it to a floppy then go from there. If not get at me I can make u a floppy FREE OF CHARGE!!

Guess what guys.. After 1hr of searching the internet, MPC 2k OS v1.72 is not longer avaliable. Im in the same boat with my man from Clevland.

SUX! My disks went bad.

Anyone out there with the zip please hook it up.

Al, why didn't you ask me?

Even though I don't have a 2k, I got the file, I actually have several of all the different mpc os files allong with update and change historys just in case someone needs them. I could have passed you that from my hard drive.

I am trying to get my startup files working on a zip disc because my floppy drive is not working but i am having trouble.. Does the ZIP drive have to be on a specific SCSI ID and can any other scsi drives be simultaneously hooked up?

I want to say you can somehow get an scsi chain goin' on, but Im not totally sure how many or what devices this will work with. I have heard of a couple zip drives being chained together, but wether its true or not idk.

I have a ZIP + 2 external SCSI hard drives hooked up simultaneously to the MPC 2000, but I can't get it to load the OS files from the zip.. it runs through the SCSI ids at the startup and then defaults back to the 'Please insert MPC 2000 disc" message... I'll keep trying but it is pretty annoying...

scsi on mp, u can chain 6 devices. scsi itself is 7 but the mp uses up one scsi id itself.
