MPC 2000 xl and PSI IIC cardreader

Hi guys! I'm trying to install this one card reader from PSI http://www.psism.com/psiiic.htm . My OS is 1.20. But strange, MPC doesn't see it even if I put CF to it. Jumper is set for pins 2-3, that means Master. This card-reader has mark ATA IDE-7... (not ATAPI as should for Akai) .
By Part Number R312XX00I50XBH03R I found another specification http://www.jactron.co.uk/read-write-units-industrial-grade/ide-read-write-units-35inch-drive-bay/apro-standard-35inch-40pin-ide-to-compactflash-x1-read-write-unit/ , and there's nothing said about ATAPI. And image on this site is reader what I have, unlike of image on PSI site.
Before I tried this one reader http://store.compuapps.com/idecfflcare.html , it wasn't able to write an if Format menu MPC showed its name and Vendor with swapped pairs of letters.

So I can't understand, is it problem of my MPC or is it mistake of PSI (is it reader actually not compatible with MPC 200 xl)? (I'd like to underline that images on PSI is not corresponds with card-reader that they've sent me.

Thank you in advance!

I meant seriously jsut get one that works and already has been tested.

know, i'm just f**king bored.

Well, problem is that this model was written as workable http://www.mpc-forums.com/viewtopic.php?t=88611&highlight=iic . But this one that I have is don't. Even with CF in it. The thing that confuse me, is that image of IIC on PSI site is different from card-reader that PSI have sent me.

And another strange thing is that my MPC doesn't see CDROM drive, but all CDROMs are ATAPI. But, it see OnSpec card-reader but in wrong way. As I wrote.

Did you have a card inserted when you turned on the MPC for the first time?

Yes. I tried all variants. I tried insert it before power on and after.
Nothing.

I just ordered this -

Is this the same card? I'm waiting for delivery at the moment so haven't installed it yet. When it arrives I'll let you know how it goes. If you figure anything out and have any advice it would be greatly appreciated.

Hey man was wondering how you're getting on. Any joy?

My mellow...WHERE?

I can't find ANY info about HD's--only zip stuff.

I am so over flippin' zips, it ain't funny.

The Card reader may be an option, but I would REALLY like to try the Hard Drive option, which I hoped to read about, but all I get is zip drive stuff.

Please--help if you can: links, web addresses, quotes, something!

anybody?!?!?

Ray-J still rocks zips if that helps.

Thanks--but no. Not really.

Hey, if you guys are trying to figure out a way to swap your samples with your MPC 2000XL and PC/Mac, see here:

I prefer using SCSI internal or external drives over the convoluted process of trying to get a CF card setup to work. Much easier, believe me.
