New Emax owner needs advice

2014-09-12 by duncanmalashock@...

Hi all, thanks for having me. I just bought an Emax on eBay (a model 2213), which I expected to come with a hard drive with a lot of old preset samples from the late 80s– that's primarily why I was interested.


However, powering up the unit I'm greeted with a scan of the SCSI devices in a loop. I don't hear a drive spinning, so I'm assuming either this unit doesn't have one, or it's died. The unit didn't come with any disks, so I've got a great unit with no samples to play.


Am I out of luck? I've heard other types of drives with Macintosh compatibility are possible to install on this unit. Really I just want to get on the right track to finding some great vintage sounds as cheaply and easily as possible. Can anyone help?


Thanks so much,

Duncan in Brooklyn NY
