I want to replace the internal floppy with an internal zip on my 2000XL. Is it possible, and what kind of specs should I get?

Get an internal Zip 250 with an ATAPI connector.

More Zip Info

Me personnaly... I had a Zip250 which worked great but finally got a card reader for my 2KXL... and it's a hell of alot better IMO.

Yes skip the zip drive and go immediately for the card reader.

250 are like 3 times faster than the 100, plus the 250 reads 100 disks, but not other way round. But pt3r is right, just get a card reader. They hold more are smaller and more reliable. But in the meantime, go ahead and put in that Zip, you already got it, right? If you were buying one, then I'd say to get the 250.
