Not the seller but this MPC60II has 2.14 OS, memory exp, SCSI (even though he doesn't say it) and built in ZIP drive.
If the unit is functional as claimed it could be a good deal since it starts at $99.

MPC60II auction



All MPC60/3000 deserve a good home. :mrgreen:

I asked the seller about this and he told me that he didn't know if the SCSI worked and I should consider it "non-working". If it turned out to work, he said that should be considered a "bonus". Caveat emptor.

It's just like the last 2 MP's I picked up the seller doesn't have a clue.
If he did then he would know the ZIP drive is using the SCSI. :shock:

From the auction;

This MPC60 also has the highly desirable Studio Electronics (Studio City, CA) Zip Drive upgrade and I am including a formatted, bootable 100MB Zip Disc with it.

If you are not familiar with this upgrade, literally every major programmer and producer had this done to their machines so they could use 100MB zip discs, rather than floppy's.

So, basically, the old floppy drive was replaced by the iOmega Zip mechanism for increased storage and faster data access.


Far too many sellers like this on eBay these days.
