Ok , thanks , i search a solution to replace my 100 mo scsi drive , i have too much zip disk now...
And 100 mo zip disks are more and more hard to find in France...
I see on ScsiForSamplers.com a scsi cdrw drive can be added , but i don't understand if i can create a multisession data cd , or if i must use 1 cd with each use ?
:D

You will need to modify POWER supply lines to supply the JAZ drive.

Hi Rohan , thanks to take a little time for me...

Is it a difficult operation ? I'm always too bad in electronic...

Is this certain that this operation functions ? Have you already seen a internal Jazz drive in a 3K ?

On MPC3000.com , i can't see where the SCSI cable come from , for connect to the convertor...

Is it come from the original DB25 connector , on the rear of the 3000 ?
:roll:

If the JAZ works on the external port then it will work.

It comes from the back panel.

You undo the connector from the rear panel, turn it around and perform the modification as per what the www.mpc3000.com site showed.

Use caution.
