Technical questions for the MPC2000xl and the MPC2000

Hello Forum!

I bought an "Intermart PCD-10" -PC-Card Reader very cheap on ebay.
Its an PC-Card Reader, so i had to buy an adaptor in which i can insert a compact flash card.

I have a SCSI-HD-Drive as well, with two centronix in/outputs. So one cable goes from the MPC into the HD and then, from the HD out to the Card Reader.
I think, thats right, isnt it?

I turned on my MPC2000 and went to the "disk" screen. But NO SCSI was recognized. Neither HD nor the card reader device.
So i changed the ID, realised that i hadnt turned on the terminator of the card reader device and tried it again.

Then suddenly the devices appeared.
But the card reader device (with a 256mb cf card in it) had no diskspace left.
I thought that i might have to format the device - so i did it.
But after that my MPC froze.
So i turned it on again - but this time no devices were recognized again...

Well, does anyone know whats giong on there?
It seems to work, but not really :)

I hope you can be able to understand me with my humble english...
I would be very grateful if anyone can help me!

Thanks!

Greets, Undress.

Hi again!

I bought a new cable (25pin male to 25pin male) to hook up my card reader directly to the MPC2000 - and now it´s working.

So the error must have been somewhere at the second centronics hoookup of my HD-drive.
And now that its working i dont need my HD anymore.

Now I can start to transfer as much as I want - YEAH!

The only ting that I need now is the MPC-Editor...

Peace, Undress.
