go to radio shack. they got scsi cables

jlotto · 27th January 2006

not those c'mon homie. I've searched NYC. I've been an MPCer since 1996 w/ the 3000

scsi an older technology now on the retail level and zip100 arent even made anymore

50pin male high density to DB25 F aint easy to find in 2006.

Hey,

Just try using an adapter, instead of that crazy cable. I have an Orange Mirco SCSI 50HD card in a G4 hooked to an S3000XL's 25 pin input, and using an adapter between the 2. I have no problems transfering samples between the two.

If ya cant find one locally try googlin for it.

rock

FU<K ARMEN!!!! Armen's a thief and a liar!! The reason Armen's not @ Rogue anymore is because of his shady ass ways. He'd do shit like fix your keyboard in 3 seconds with a quick solder and charge you mad labor AND for a new part that he never even put in. There were mad people threatening to sue, and a couple did. He's a dick... so beware if you cop anything from him or bring anything to him to get fixed.

Tommy Mas · 28th January 2006

damn didnt know that about Armen, I just knew he had some ill gear in his store, that I had heard good things about

con?one · 28th January 2006

i've known Armen for 10 years, and i, friends of mine AND people who've worked with him all have a ton of horror stories

If you got an mpc 2000xl why don't you just replace the floppy drive with the zip drive. It's really easy.
Buy an atapi/ide zip drive (shouldn't be more than 40.00 now) and order the atapi zip kit from akai (I paid 30.00 for it about 6 yrs ago) They send you a cheap ass ribbon and the correct power harness (the one that comes with the atapi doesn't work with the mpc 2000xl) with instructions on how to install it.
It's a very easy upgrade. Some of my homeys put a hard drive in place of the zip.

If you get tired of the scsi thing; just try it; it's really inexpenseive and very convenient.

The exact part number (when ordering from akai) is
KIT-ZIPMPC2 (cables w/ instructions) 30.00 and the ZIPMPC2 (includes a zip drive and all cables/instructions) 130.00

yeah, you can do it for less than $50... if you can still find the cable/ kit thingee... GC & Ash were selling 'em for $20... and if you go to one of those lil' chinese computer stores, you can cop a 100mb zip for like $20-30. If you don't wanna be bothered, send me $1500 and i'll do it for ya
