Why not just use a zip?They're cheap and you can find them easily.As well as gettin' a bunch of disk for cheap.

No click of death with a cf card.

Yeah, but i'm sure they'll have their problems also.

External SCSI CF readers work with the MPC2000. I just bought one for 10 USD.

"i'm sure they'll have their problems also"

They sure do. The sticker comes off when you send it through the wash, but at least it still works. They get hard to find when your kid tosses it out the 2nd story window, but at least it still works. You might get a cut on your foot from the sharp edge when you step on it, but at least it still works. Sometimes I am not sure if the drive is on since it does not emit this whirring noise. Yep, they can be really problematic.

internal/external scsi readers: (pcd series)

microtech
intermart
scm

there's a few you can check on. check Ebay. there are other post in this forum that cover this same topic.

here's a link to a unit like a bought, it works great as a external unit...if your comfortable w/ taking it apart it works great as an internal reader. with this reader you'll need to buy a PCMCIA adapter card ($7.00) to read CF cards.
