When I do " Disk " then " 8 " , the MPC automatically boot on floppy drive !
If your MPC3000 is loaded with OS 3.11 or higher and the connected ZIP drive has been formatted by an S3000 then all should work fine.
Earlier versions of the MPC3000 system software supported the loading of
sample files from S1000/S3000 formatted floppy disks only.
As of version 3.1/3.11 support for S1000/S3000 hard disks and CD-ROM disks was added.
From the manual:
"To load a sample file from an S1000/S3000 hard disk or CD-ROM, first you must connect the hard disk or CD-ROM drive to the SCSI port and make it active (recognized by the MPC3000 as ready for use). To do this, read the section of this manual entitled “Connecting multiple SCSI devices, making a SCSI device active without recycling power”. The instructions for making an MPC3000 hard disk, an S1000/S3000 hard disk, or a CD-ROM drive containing an S1000/S3000 CD-ROM are the same. Once you have made the S1000/S3000 hard disk or CD-ROM active, the remaining instructions are nearly the same for reading S1000/S3000 floppies, hard disks or CD-ROMs. Once the S1000/S3000 hard disk or CD-ROM is active, go to the “Load S1000/S3000 sample files” screen by pressing DISK, then 8: "
All should be pretty straight forward from there.
