Yes, see my later post.  No soldering required, it doesn't come in kit form.  I would highly recommend the more expensive REV F 3.5" format version, rather than cased or uncased earlier REVs.  I didnt get the REV F as it wasnt available when I bought mine, and the real headache was finding a way to mod the case so it would work.  With the REV F It should then be a straight swap, just taking the casing off and putting it in.

The emax will be fine, it is in the supported devices.  The FZ10 is a different story.  I thought you were going to come across some issues but I have just discovered it is ALMOST supported.  It is supported in a  beta version of the windows software. See this forum, about someone fitting it to an FZ1 http://torlus.com/floppy/forum/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=408&start=15

Note I am not affiliated with these guys, I just love old casio gear (loving my new vz-10m) and an fz10 was on my list of future gear to buy.  Seeing the HXC will support it soon pushes it up the list somewhat!
