internal zip mpc2000

would this work ? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ZIP-100-Internal- ... dZViewItem

I was just wondering because i didnt know what the spec was i needed and if the metal on the sides of the drive would cause problems installing and if it would be the same size cable???

It won't work in the classic 2000.
Only in the XL


.

thanks for that

it will slide right in, but you have to basically make your own cable for the power supply, the IDE slips right in, but the power supply is where it gets tricky.

I found a way to avoid actually cutting the floppy drive chords by sliding them out of the white plastic piece, and using electrical tape to secure the zip drive wiring to them. that way if I ever wanted to put the floppy back in for any reason i could.
