Get a MV2k with PROM 2.3, read the EPROMs, burn new EPROMs and put them
into your vers. 1.2 MV2k.

You can use a generic PeeCee floppy. I connected a Mitsumi D509V3 and it
just worked. See the well known third-party-disks.txt also.

Yes. But you can crimp a new, longer cable to put it outside the box.

There exists a pizza box that is screwed below the CPU box. It contains
only connectors for a external RDxx disk and the "SCSI" tape port.
Again: You can crimp your own cabels and route them through the
opening at the bottom of the MV2k. I did this to connect various RDxx
disks "on the fly" for low level formating.
