"SYS" and "EXE" are for MPC2000.

"BIN" is for MPC2000kXL.

Try loading it via a floppy drive instead of ZIP.

You need to do more than just boot from the OS (which is all you are doing). You have to go into the LOAD menu and load the OS.

yeah i do load it once i boot it. i turn on the unit it askes for the disk i put it on and it loads, and then i go into load go the the file mpc2kxl.bin and i load that, and it says that it is loading to flash, and it shows the percentage of it loading up till complete, then after that it says press any button and it will restart, i do that, but then it just says mpc2kxl and it stays on that all day, pretty much freezes, ive left it on for a whole day once to see if it took time, but it jsut pretty much froze. so i turn it off and restart and im doing the same thing all over agian boot from disk load in load screen to flash and it freezes. and thats it, any idea what it could be or somthing im not doing. lemme know.
