OMFG, SO MY ZIP DRIVE STARTS CLICKIN' AND SHIT RIGHT...

and then it kept clickin' and clickin' and clickin' until I came to the conclusion that it was BROKE!

****! Now I can't even get to my damn sounds, sell me a zip drive yo!!!

yea zip drives where the reason i sold my first mpc2000xl

thank god for the milticard reader

damn right! Get that multicard reader!!!

click of death...he got the wrath of the ninjas b

mine did that i pryed it open and re-seated this little bar which tells it theres a disk in

do you have the mpc close to anything that might have a magnetic field? I've read that it may **** with the zip drive, and sound like it's the click of death. I had the same problem when it was sitting on a cd-rom drive, when I placed it by itself away from the cd-rom drive, it worked fine.

something to consider..

Well, I was only using my Zip, my Mpc, and my headphones at the time so I don't think it was a magnetic thing...

I'm jus a victum of the CLICK OF DEATH!!!

Whats popping
I'm new to this sight but I would like to inform you that after going through about 4 zip drives over the last 7 years I finally broke down and had bruce @ forat modify my 2000 with CF reader. The dope thing about having this installed is the fact that I have 2gb worth of storage space. I spent about a week or so transferring sounds from my old zips. I was mainly concerned about losing drums. I also would like to note that my scsi zip drive ( external) still works as well. I almost sold my 2000, but I use it to control an akai s-950, and emu sp1200 via midi ( SOUND DUMP). LET ME KNOW HOW TO POST PICTURES AND I WILL SHOW YOU THE MODIFICATION! FOR ALL THE NON BELIEVERS WHO THOUGHT YOU COULD ONLY USE AN EXTERNAL CF READER WITH THE CLASSIC MAKAI MPC 2000.
ONE LOVE
ANTHOPOLOGY.

i just got my card reader today cant wait for my mpc to get here tommarrow

the click of death has nothing to do with magnets like I said its a small bar inside the drive that is supposed to move when a disk is inserted

Zips suck...card readers all the way. I Had crappy luck with those shity zips.

man i have been using zip drives with my mpc 2000xl for sometime! i really rather have aip disk anyway! omly had to repalce it once!

i couldnt imagine **** with Zips CF Card is the best way
