Hows it going everyone, I've just spent 20 mins searching the forum for info regarding the Akai S2800 and cannot find anything about this (Tons for the MPC 2000 though obviously)
The common upgrade with the MPC2000 was swapping out the IDE Floppy drive for a cheap Startech or Microtech CF card reader..
Seeing as the S2800 and 3000 dont have internal SCSI and I dont happen to have an SCSI card, And the gotek floppy emulators seem to suck, Has anyone tried upgrading the floppy drives with these cheap eBay IDE CF readers?
Im guessing a 40pin female IDE one would do the trick?
Please let me know if im being stupid here, Also I notice I can install a hard drive in the S2800 alongside the floppy drive, can this be an IDE CF adapter perhaps?
All the mods I can find online are for the S3000XL and 3200XL which have internal SCSI, Th 2800 and 3000 do not.
THANKS!
