Did you format the floppies on the MPC? if so, your computer probably won't be able to read them.

thats exactly it

once you format a floppy on the mpc ... a pc floppy drive wont read it anymore - i suggest hooking an old skool scsi floppy drive to your mpc, then copy over your tracks from the the floppy onto your zip...

a scsi floppy may be like 5-10 beans on the bay
