Okay, I'm sure some of these may have been discussed ad nauseum, but:

1. There are no effects or filter on the MPC60, correct?
2. Has anyone ever tried replacing the floppy with a zip drive, card reader etc..? If so, were the successful?

That is all. Thank you.

Correct. None of that

What is with everyone wanting to replace the floppy? Keep the floppy drive people! You might need it!

No, I haven't replaced the floppy drive with either of those but I do use an external card reader and it works really well.

How do you connect it? Using SCSI?

Yes

...and that's the only way to do it, internal or external.

Umm, I never said anything about needing the MPC 60 in order to make heat. Also never said anyting about wanting to be like Madlib. But, like you said, I guess it's the liquor talking.

Don't know. There's no model # on it.
