Emax

Dear John,

The floppy does definitely power up.  The red light is constantly 
on.  But it has been moved (my Emax II arrived from Germany).  So I 
will try to open it, double check the ribbon and come back to you if 
the problem is still there...  Otherwise, maybe I should consider 
purchasing one of these Emax hard disks full of sounds?...

Take care,

David.
