Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hello. I have a MPC2000XL. I understand I need to upgrade OS to 1.20 in order to install a CF card reader. Problem is I only have a SCSI HD in there (which is getting seriously old and unreliable) and I have no computer that will accept it. So i need to get floppy working in order to install the OS. I have tried two different Floppy disk stations. My MPC will accept neither even though it is (i believe) the right type. The ones that are not supposed to have a "twirl" on the cable. "Type B" or something. Also the power cable to the floppy has been modified so it only has red and black cable (it was like that when I got it, bought it used). I have tried both modified and unmodified cable. All jumper settings. I've even tried putting the cable in both ways (it's the old type without a locator pin).

Does anyone know how to go about this? I would really appreciate all help.

Man I had problems with mine I tried to install a card reader! I took out my floppy drive got a card reader from mpc stuff.com. He had to send me the 1.2 os version but I made a mistake and bought a flash card from Vst.services.com non compatible. When I tried to get a card from mpc stuff.com paypal wouldn't let me. SanDisk 1 gb for mpc they have them much cheaper on the internet you'll pay three times as much with mpc stuff.com
