tying to find ways to transfer pgm data from my mac to mpc2000xl using mpc pgm maker software. looks like i need another zip drive but has anyone used an usb-scsi cable? if this cable works can i use my mac as the external drive for my mpc?

There are indeed a few manufacturers that have a usb to scsi converter but as far as i see all these interfaces need special drivers installed on the machine to use them and as far as i see there are no drivers available for MPC :wink: On top of that these interfaces only help if you want to connect a scsi device to a usb port and not the other way around. SO your only option is to get an extra external scsi zip drive for your mpc or and ide zipdrive that you build in instead of your floppy.

Options:
1. Burn it to cd
2. Save to Floppy
3. Save to a zip disk
4. Save to external scsi hard drive and link that to your Mpc

Samples are on the Mac right?
create the program.......then do one of the options above

as far as the cable......Never heard of it
