Emax II HxC / SCSI help

2015-01-14 by fairplay_to_you@...

Hi-

I am a working musician / vintage synth collector. I have an Emax II with a dead floppy. Originally it had some banks on the internal SCSI HD, but I inadvertantly erased them. I also own an early Emulator II, for which I bought the HxC floppy emulator SD card type. So, I have this Emax II and I have tried every combination of files, images, config files, etc. with the HxC floppy emulator and the closest I get is "please insert disc" or "this is not an Emax disk" errors. So, one question is : Has anyone on the list successfully used the HxC SD with an Emax II os ver 2.14?


Second question ; It does have SCSI, and I have an Iomega Zip 100 with some discs (not emax just blank zip disks). Can I do anything with that to load/store sound banks?


I have every factory CD rom of samples from Emax for their rack samplers (ESi i think?) with a SCSI CD Rom but the CD Rom drive is permanently set to ID #4 and the Emax II can't see it.


Thanks so much for any help.


John
