Emax

the reason why most spare floppy drives were thrown was because they were shot

and postal can also damage them making the heads become misaligned in korgs they used to give you a special disk that parked the heads so they did not move when in transit

the hxc is plug and play remove old floppy cable from old floppy drive remove the drive put the cable upside down in the hxc  fit the hxc drive

put the sdcard in the pc format it fat 16 and use hxc software to create images from emxp images thats it

but for how much your going to pay for a hxc you can get a pcd-60b for t he same amount in usa/canada and a slim floppy for $5-10 and a slim floppy adater for $6 you will need to do the mods on that

but you will have a great sytem

  Unfortunately I'm in London Ontario (Canada)... so it might turn out to be a pricey option to ship from Poland.  Would the HxC option require modding or is it basically plug and play?  




  It seems that replacement HD prices are really inflated, so an affordable fix might be impossible... Also, if it came clean and unformatted (as it should), I would still need to use the floppy drive to format it... 




  Windrum you're right, it's regrettable that E-mu didn't have the OS stored on internal ROM...
