Emax

Not five minutes later, I fixed it!

In a last ditch attempt before I gave up, closed the Emax, and went to bed
(it IS 5:00AM!), I swapped a chip.. I guess it turned out to be the floppy
drive controller or something related.  It's located on the digital board
just above the floppy drive power.. labeled as follows:

IM36-1 BA
R1125-11
MEXICO A1
8736 6570

Works like a charm.

Beautifullllllllllllllll.

Anyone have any good choir samples?
