Re: [emax] Re: Chinese floppy emulator

2014-08-14 by JAMIE logan

its because his design based on the 7720uw from acard he uses the same chips and the same bios and i know he gets disk errors

as i just cant get the 7720uw to work with the emax 1 i dont know what acard did or if its anything todo with the 68pin interface

but i just cant get it to work with the emax1 but it works great with the emax2 with the same devices tested

and the 7720u which is the scsi1/2 with the 50pin scsi connection works with the emax1 and the same devices and even though the bios is the same for both cards the 7720uw just wont work all you get is disk error trying to load banks

the version i am working on is bios based and the firmware can be updated it also scans the scsi pins and does a diagnostic which you can have a look at to see what signals the scsi is getting this allows to write new firmware so that it can work with any device

its almost ready and i will be sending ted one for testing

and it will include the slim floppy inside the casing and the adapter so all you will have to do is fit it just like a floppy drive and fit 3 cables the scsi the floppy and power

OK thanks for the heads up.
I wish i knew how to program low level machine code and make a scsi/usb interface that had firmware allowing it to work with multiple applications/devices........Just installed the Korg DSS1(Straylight Engineering) scsi/usb interface/memory upgrade and it works awesome. No more unreliable floppy drive or slow floppy emulator. Another underrated synthesizer/sampler with some beautiful sounding analog filters

I've spoken with the manufacturer of the AztecMonster and he confirmed it does NOT work with Emax I. He says it will only work w/ Emax II & III.

Unless the firmware is the problem AND it can be hacked, save your money.
