Is it possible to use it with my MPC 2000 XL?

What di I have to connect?
Which Card Size should work?

Ive tried already to just connect it via 40pin IDE Cable and put a 32GB CF Card Inside. (I know its proably to big...)

Does anyone have experience with this and can give me some advise?

Thanks

that should work no problem with os 1.20 and most likely you need smaller type 2 cards.. try sandisk 1gb or 2gb ones.

You will also need to connect your floppy power cable to the four pin power connector (as seen on your second image).
Wont work without power.

Hey,

Thanks for the reply, that sounds good!
I can set the jumper to master - slave or slave- master.
So you know which one I should choose?
And are you sure that I can only use Type2 Cards?

Thanks

Hi,
The power connector has 4pins. With my zip drive i did only use 2 of them. Does anyone know which one i do have to connect?
Thanks
