probably, but you will need an enclosure to put it in so you can connect it to the back of the machine... also, you need to burn CDs in a way they actually work on the mpc.

it isn't really worth it though to be honest... just load stuff onto a compact flash card instead and skip the cd all together... it's faster, you can fit more on a card, you don't need blank cds, you don't need to burn anything, you don't need the cd rom drive...

I have scsi cdrom and scsi hdd for my 2kxl. Cf's are SOOO much better and I haven't used my scsi's in years.

yes, but it will be very expensive compared to one that uses the 2000xl's internal atapi/ide port... you can get a card reader for that starting at like 2 bucks on ebay.. or you can get a slightly nicer looking one that looks more stylish for a bit more money...

the addonics one because it comes with a bracket... and because the 20 dollar frys one can be bought for like a buck fifty on ebay... but doesn't have a bracket.
