i got a short but important question:
i've been messin' around with this 'iomega zip 100 plus' drive.
but it doesn't work...
so do iomega zip drives work with a mpc2000xl at all?
or do i just have the wrong one?
THANXXX...

Sup, I have a 2000xlse2 and I threw out my floppy and put in a 250 Iomega zip drive. I use Fuji zip disks only because Iomega zip disks are very finicky. Fuji is the only brand of zips I've ran across that can be read on both machines, PC and MPC2000xl together, it makes for easy transfers....Don't use iomega zips. If u do then you need to format with IomegaWare format utility. That way you format on the PC and the MPC can read it also but you can't format on the MPC or else the PC cannot read it. Fuji zips work both ways for me...
