Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Since the only stupid question is the one that is never asked, do you think this will quite possibly work within a MPC2000XL?

Granted, it does have a 40-pin IDE interface. Yet the USB 2.0 port is what worries me. Any thoughts or critiques? I have an external Zip drive. I also have another MPC2K-XL with an internal zip. I just want to be able to upgrade without losing the floppy option. I know many people that have MPC2000, 60(60-II), and 3000 floppies, not to mention the S-series floppies, too. Thanks in advance!

Long time no see..

It has USB interface for the card reader stuff, won't work.
Also you cant load drivers and utilities on the mpc so of course that's a no go also.
