Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hey guys,

Looking to update my mpc2000xl from its original disk drive. I know everyone uses the addonics IED to CF unit, but i see that they also sell a IED to SD version. Has anyone used it? Wondering if it would work, I’m a lot more familiar with SD and my computer has a dedicated SD slot so it would just make my life easier, but only if it would work! Here’s the exact unit i was thinking of getting. Any help would be great!

Get a SCSI2SD card reader and make your life easier.
I've used the Addonics/Star Tech brands but I prefer the SCSI2SD since you can update the firmware and select the number of partitions if used on other gear.

Also, would setup be the same ? Using the power that the floppy was plugged in to, Then connecting to the new drive to the scsi port with a 40 pin female to female cable

Appreciate the help! i couldn’t find anything about using sd drives with the 2000xl it seems like everyone stopped upgrading after the CF era. Just wanna make the right move before i make the purchase !
