Emax

The exact question I had was
1) what legacy FDD's by part number, would work as 'drop in replacements' for an Emax? Did EMU ever have a Drive compatibility list that they put out so that we could search for those drive numbers today?

If there are none other than what EMU sold at the factory then

2) What is the part number for the slim floppy, the part number for the Adapter and If it has a DS jumper setting, is it 1 or 0?

Thanks

I am aware with the various investments of vintage sample ownership and I'm okay with that.  It seems that not everyone is at peace with the expenditures needed to run equipment from this era.

You seem to have faulty assumptions about supply and demand on legacy storage drives, and you seemed baffled by the availability, pricing, and compatibility of Emu storage options, so I did my best to explain it to you.  Sorry if my corrections offended you, that wasn't my intent.
