Re: [emax] Re: repairs- also, does anyone here live in colorado?

Will it reall boot up via the serial port to a external hard drive? How would I do that? Format the drive?.... Knyarg... I wonder if we're the only two people in colorado with emaxs... There was one listed on ebay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=38070&item=2562009954) from a used music store in denver (far part for me) off 70 and Federal, and I went to check it out (which by the way, it's a rackmount). Well, I brought some boot up disks, and the screen gets all weird. I dont know if the LED is broken, but I was just letting you know there is something wrong with it. But it's probably fixable. I don't want to give up on my emax, b/c I love the emax sound. Maybe you'd be able to work with me to get ours both working. Just wondering though, how many sockets have you burnt out? And did you try getting a new cable too?

I live in Golden. And my Emax II is non-funtional at the moment. An alternitive for 
your situation might be installing a hard drive to boot the thing from.
Another alternative might be to make one functional keyboard out of two non-
functional ones. How much would you want for yours?

referenced me to epr electronics which would cost roughly $200 ($120 drive, $80 
labor), and I'd have to send it off to Florida for them to repair it (gack, shipping). On 
Route66studios website, it says it'll cost $68 for a new disk drive. I just wondered 
what the smartest option would be. i dont have much electronic experience, so id 
have to get someone else to do it. I did open it up earlier and notice another card or 
two on top of the drive, which of course I cant separate. I imagine those are for the 
pitch and bend on the right. If anyone has answers or lives in colorado, help would be 
much appreciated.
