Ive finally arrived in card reader world

Or format the 4 gig card on os 1.14 an make 4 1 gig partitions, get a small card (that you format FAT16 on your PC) to do transfers between the mpc and the pc.

Yeah, I have updated the OS and formatted in FAT/FAT 16. Some one on this forum stated they were able to get 4GB card to work which is why I got one. I will try a smaller card. Thanks for the input. It might be the brand also.

My SD card/ Memory stick slot don't work, anybody facing that problem?
Compact flash are ok.

My MP doesn't recognize my card reader; 'ATAPI' never shows up in the Device field. I followed the instructions- I don't know what the deal is. What I DO know is that I'm sick of floppies...

YEAH ONLY CARDS THAT REALY WORK ARE CF

Hey everyone,

I got myself a 2000XL a couple of months ago, but I bought it pretty bear bones: no memory, no samples, and only one OS (which is fine, i guess). I knew I had to find a way around the floppy drive, so I looked into alterntives and found out about the Card Reader from Amtron. I got really busy for a few months and didn't have time to purchase or think about this stuff, and now I see that the freaking drive is discontinued???!!!!!

Does ANYONE know where I can purchase one???

got mine at http://www.psism.com

called this IISDMC2

Cheers.

Thanks a lot for the site, man. Apparently the model you have is discontinued as well, but they also have an "IDE PC Card Reader (Model IIC)."

It says it's compatible with MPC's. Anyone know if this is legit?

geez i was lucky then.. only got mine a month or so ago.. glad i got in when i did.. must have got ones of the last..

Well if the "IIC" works, it only has a Compact Flash slot, but it sounds like CF cards are the only ones that work for MPC's anyways. Good stuff

yeah CF cards are the proven way to go...

One other ting.......

Is all this stuff gonna work if I have a Macbook??

i also asked psi if the new reader will work. they said the manufacturer claims it works. so its not clear about if it will work or not.

Im currently waiting for my USB card reader to arrive for my macbook.. at the moment ive been transferring all my zip stuff to the card.. but i havent used the CF card with my Macbook yet as im waiting for the reader.. will let you know when it arrives and how it goes.

think you gotta make sure the jumper is in the right position at the back of the drive.. it's a little plastic cap covering two pins..
