Re: [emax] Upgrading Standard Emax 3.2 to SE problems

2016-04-12 by jim ladd

I put a scsi2sd drive inside instead so there is no need to use the floppy drive any more.

The Emax I repaired was all rusty. I cleaned it all up but the floppy drive really should have been replaced. But when you have 4 hard drives on a microSD card I didn’t see the point. All the clients’ old floppies were damaged from the environment anyway… and if you really want to put a found floppy onto the hard drives you just do it with the EMXP program and whack it on the microSD card.

My 2 pence :)
