Sata to Ide Converter for MPC 2000 Classic

Would a sata to ide converter work with an mpc 2000 classic instead of a cf mod?

That is good to know lamp I have never been inside the 200xl. So are you saying that in a 2000XL sata works with a ide to sata adapter?

Cheers,
Ian

PS Has anyone tried that already?

No, it won't work, 2000 Classic doesn't have IDE ports to begin with. Data management is 2000 Classic's biggest weakness, if you ask me.
No IDE port, SCSI port is located only outside (no internal SCSI port) and no directory support, which makes difficult organizing data files with using larger data storage.

I've said this before, but the best data storage solution for MPC-2000 classic is SCSI 3.5 inch M.O (Magneto Optical) drive. (M.O was officially supported by Akai. Even Akai used to sell SCSI M.O drives for S series samplers and MPCs.) I know it is hard to get it in the U.S (it was very, very popular in Japan), but it is super reliable and 3.5" M.O disks are actually cheaper than getting zip disks on eBay.
