Emax

Just last night I successfully installed a Quantum ProDrive LPS 525 in my
Emax II, which I ordered from Other World Computing.
(http://www.macsales.com)

The drive was $24.50, and I bought a 3 connecter internal SCSI cable from
them for $10.  They charge $5 for 2nd day FedEx Shipping.

I found a web page that had the jumper settings for the drive, and I set it
to SCSI ID1, parity on, and termination on. The drive did take FOREVER to
format and verify - I think about an hour and a half.  But it now boots off
the drive, and loading banks off the drive is fast.

I didn't have any way to mount the drive properly, I just shoved it
underneath the floppy drive.  Unfortunately, it is very loud, and I think
that may be because it is vibrating against the metal shield of the floppy.
There is a lot of room in the keyboard case, in fact enough to easily
install another drive.

Anyone have any tips on how to mount a drive in an Emax II keyboard?  And
also, what is involved with upgrading the power supply to support 2 internal
drives?  Anyone have some tips on installing a PC power supply?

And, does anyone have the Emu sound library for the EmaxII they would let me
borrow to load onto my drive?
