Re: [emax] Regarding Floppy Drives

you need to add a jumper on pin 33and 34 or the e5000 will take a long time searching for the floppy drive before booting

  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?

    The floppy drives from most EMU samplers will work in the Emax or EmaxII, the floppy in my EmaxSE is from an EMU E6400, and the one in my EmaxII is from an ESI32, the only thing you need to do is set a jumper on the drive for the sector size. I am pretty sure that drives from other manufacturers will also work.
