Oh mine came with an internal zip drive when i bought it used from a friend.
Have a big box full of toasted zip disks, neither my MPC drive nor the macs zip drive see's them when i insert them.
External Zips are death for real, i went threw 3 SCSI zip 100 drive trying to get all my archived sounds and programs off zips and onto CF cards.
Speaking of Jazz Drives, ones holding my bedroom window open, and another keeps the bedroom door from slamming shut from the wind. Its about the only use i have for any SCSI device now.
If you have a MPC 2000XL, for gods sakes do yourself a favor and get a cardreader please. If you have the internal zip already its a straight swap, if you have afloppy internal, its a power cord and data cable swap.
Peace,
