Emax

Hi David,

I've got such a unit (I'm also not sure if it's a plus or non plus model). I
had some problems with it in the beginning. Apparently there are two
different versions of the Apple CD300, one has a caddy for you to put the CD
into and the other more recent one has a tray which slides from inside the
unit. This second version does not work with the Emax. I had to put an add
in Loot, a classified adds newspaper in London, saying I would trade my more
recent version of the unit for the older one and it worked for me (that was
a bit lucky though, I think).

Hope this helped,

João Gomes
