Re: [emax] Regarding Floppy Drives

2014-02-06 by Windrumscoggin

Very cool
So I can boot from my E5000 without the floppy installed? I have the optional hard drive installed in it so hopefully it won't seek the FD and will boot straight off the Internal HD. If that be the case  then and just put it in my EMAX Whose FDD is dead
Now did EMU do something with their FDD's that made them proprietary? If so then finding after market FDD's using the manufacturers number off the FDD won't do me any good if Emu did something to them to make them proprietary after the fact at the factory
Ted or Jammie your thoughts?

I am pretty sure that drives from other manufacturers will also work.
