Hi everyone.
I reckon it would be a good idea to just have a list of this stuff so people can stop having to ask.

Firstly, check out these two excellent sites

http://home.tiscali.nl/~smeyer/mpc/
http://www.midicase.com/card_reader_guide.htm

The specs to keep in mind are ATAPI, IDE and ADOPT NATIVE DRIVER.
When installing your card reader, set the jumpers to MASTER.
The largest card that will be read is 1GB. People tend to have a much easier time using CF cards compared with SD for some reason...
For more information, check chapter 10 in the manual (pg151)

Here are some sites with confirmed compatible card readers:

http://store.compuapps.com/idecfflcare.html - US$17!
http://1226354.estore.networksolutionsdesign.com/Detail.bok?no=5
http://www.mpcstuff.com/2000xl-mcd-multi-card-reader-drive.html


Feel free to add to this list if you know some other sites!

you should update this list. the only place i have found a working flash drive that is still availible. and not $150 is this site.
http://store.compuapps.com/idecfflcare.html
this is confirmed working with 1.2os and is only $25 after shipping.
the only deal is when i ordered black they sent white. but i have a custom front panel so im painting it anyways. all the other sites on the list are discontinued. except vst and mpcstuff.

Updated the list, cheers lunatic.
PS Have you got this thing to read and write? Sounds like some people are having troubles.

mine works fine. but i heard some readers need a firmware update to fix the no write symptom. like the pcd readers had two different f\w.

hey LunaticBastard,

Is the $17 drive hot swappable?
