Just oredered this card reader off this site many of you recomended

http://www.synchrotech.com/products/card-rw_32.html

but im not clear if i will need to purchase the 40 pin cable thats been mentioned or if i can pull one from my old PC or will i be able to just do a clean swap?

I have the 2000xl with os 1.14 and internal zip already installed when i purchased it. Can i get a witness?

You already have a zip installed, that means, this new mcd will use those SAME cables, nothing else needs to be done exact a clean swap or the 2 devices..

Power cable = same.
Data cable = same.

Make sure you use the master jumper on the mcd.

Done.

this reader looks nifty

i have an internal zip too, so if i replace it with this reader will it fit snuggly?

and secondly, all i'll have to do is exchange the wires from the zip to this thing and presto chango, done?
