2000XL with Zip and without

hey, i'm a 1000 owner who's planning to buy a 2000XL.

should i wait for the MCD (multi-card reader) version or pick-up an original XL?
do i need a built in zip or will a external zip do the job?
anyone using the analog filter thing and if so, is it worth buying?

main reason for making the switch is the timestretch, timeslice and zoning features and of course the sound.

please post some advice and help a fellow mpcer out.

thanks in advance for your responses.

It's up to you.
I opted in replacing my floppy drive with a Zip 250 so I can edit most of my samples on my P.C. since it had a Zip drive also.

so i can replace the floopy with a zip drive? any idea how much and where i would buy one? will an external scsi zip drive work just as well?

Check on ebay you will find lots of zip drives for the MPC 2000 XL.

hey that's freakin' cool. did you try this?

anyone else try this? if so, how's it working?

don't really want to wait for the MCD but will if it makes sense.

Please try the newbie forum, the search, web search and effectively help yourself. The topic of replacing drives is covered many, many times.

I have even seen several static web pages about it, with at least one of them my own.

yeah, there are several card reader threads out there. Check my sig.
