Share your knowledge on these two classic MPCs

Hey everyone,

I've been reading up on the CF Reader posts and preparing for my internal install once I get the parts. One thing that I can't figure out is how to properly insulate the card reader inside the machine. I copped this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vi ... 0938794646

It's exactly like the drives JD and scsiforsamplers sold with the ACS drive and acard exposed. Rohan, in a previous post, raised this concern/possible fix:

Manual makes no mention of attempting to isolate or shield any components that could potentially short out.

Use of electricians insulation or air-conditioning duct tape may help to keep potential short circuits at bay.

Another thing.

Have you disabled MULTI SECTOR transfer mode in the MPC3000 and tried saving again ?

Over to you.

What would be the best way to insulate the drive? In that post Rohan suggested tape, but is there any other approach? Thanks
