Re: Resurrecting an Emax HD rack - Issues keep mounting

I think the best moneysaving first option it's to try catching and old Mac drive (Conner 20 MB from an Mac LC II) maybe 50 or less dollars (50€ cost me) other SCSI drive up to 7200rpm 500- 512+/-MB (upper capacity will right if you make a good partition on it ) Try to install a new OS on a new Floppy (can be an HD floppy with cover hole). Floppies formatted with EMXP sometimes did fault me.
If your floppy runs OK, install your new drive and copy OS to it after have been formatted with Emax. Set up your BOOT ID.
