Card reader- 2000xl?

By Cod Thu Nov 03, 2005 8:03 pm

Hi, I got 2 MPC2000xl's that im using live. Would love to upgrade them from internal zips to those cool lookin card readers. Anyone know which ones are compatible + is it a straight swap with the zip?

Are they much quicker at loading than zips +how much does does the 2k recognise?

Any thoughts well appreciated :shock:

The card reader is an excellent change from the Zip. It loads faster and has no moving parts so no Zip Click of death to worry about.
I got the Microtech PCD-47 SCSi card reader. Works like having 3 hard drives in one. I don't use all 3 but it's looks cool.
You might have to change the firmware on it since some of the PCD-47's are read only.
