Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000
By Derrick Wed Aug 27, 2003 4:13 pm
I got two SCSI External ZIP drives. One, I accidently burnt the motor in it by pluggin' the wrong power supply up to it...that was smart ??? And the other one is makin' this click sound, and i aint gettin' my sounds. Oh! no! I need a SCSI ZIP that I can install internally...speak back!

I may be wrong mane but I dont think the internal scsi can handle removable drives. then again, I may be wrong.

what do you mean... he's lookin' for an internal scsi zip drive... those aren't removable(meaning you can't just yank it out and walk away with it).... in his thread he stated that he had EXTERNAL zip drives connected to the EXTERNAL scsi slot....
.
since he's had bad luck with the external he's gonna chill with an internal one.

I meant the internal drive bus on the mpc can't handle removable drives mane. And like I said mane, I could be wrong.

Seems to me it would be much easier to get an internal ATAPI Zip for the XL. These can still be purchased new with warranty unlike the internal SCSI ones.

...dats cool, but i just went on ahead and copped the internal SCSI...cost effecient and al'lat...thanks for the advice tho'...by the way, hows the 3000...i've seen a picture of one...i like the color, black...but anyway, how is it...i wanted one years back...are they still available...
