What up fam,
I am new to this MPC 2000XL, mostly doing my music with keyboard and software programs. Now I'm into the hardware. Got a few questions if ya don't mind..
I'm trying to hook the MPC to my computer (Windows running not apple..I know I know) to which I have a ton of wav samples stored, other than the SCSI cable what do I need?
Also any suggestions on memory I should use?

I've got the manual so I'm going to go through it but decided to let myself be known on here to..

lol nothing wrong with windows if you buy a nice sound card.
So you are trying to get the samples off of the computer and into the mpc?

Yea I went to the local music stores and to your standard computer/bestbuy/circuit city stores and nobody has been able to help. I need my samples from my computer so I can load them onto my MPC..
HELP>>>>lol

Another problem I am noticing is my MPC only has the floppy disk drive not the card reader drive, is this something I can swap out otherwise I am limited to amount of memory.

try this hook a scsi drive either through scsi or usb to your computer, then hook up a zip drive to your mpc through scsi use a program like Fl or acid or what ever cut your samples save them to the scsi (comp) then load them in the mpc. this is what i do

on the 2kxl you're better of to look for a cf reader.
