Has somebody tried to put something like this into his MPC2000XL?

AFAIK the 2000xl doesn't have an internal USB port :wink:

I also don't think that the diskdrive alone would work in the 2000(xl)

Oh I see, I was assuming that you can either connect it via internal usb OR via the IDE cable

but I understand now

The floppy drive connects via a 34pin floppy ribbon cable, the card reader connects via USB, there is no IDE on the drive.

Yeah I know I was just referring the floppy "IDE-style" as IDE

Yes you can put an internal card reader in an XL.

Not the internal card reader the OP is asking about here though, as it is USB.

USB and SATA will not work but some IDE card readers will work (addonics is one brand).
