Emax

Hi all,

I have a turbo Emulator IIIxp where I managed to change the hard 
drive from 105MB to a 9.1GB Compaq.  It formatted OK to 8860MB much 
to my surprise.

Question 1:
Despite copying the software to it, it won't boot from the drive, I 
have to use the floppy drive or the old 105MB drive to boot from.  I 
had to add termination resisters internally on the Emu motherboard to 
get it to be recognised when using it as a single drive. Anyone know 
why it won't boot?

Question 2:
Copying a CD of samples to the drive stopped at about 94% free space 
on the new drive.  This equates to about 500MB so is there a 540MB 
limit to drive size.  Remember it formatted to nearly 9GB and the 
disk status says it is 94% free but copying any more data results in 
a disk full error message.  Can anyone confirm the drive limit?  I 
know Emax IIs max out at 500MB.

Question 3:
I can control the filters/EGs/LFOs etc on both my Emax SE and Emax II 
from my Peavey PC1600 controller using sysex.  Can this be done on 
the EIIIxp.  The manual says that Sysex is "Yet To Be Implement".  
Was it ever?  I have the last V2.10 software.  I believe the ESI-32 
range onwards dropped sysex control of these parameters.

Question 4:
If it can be controlled by sysex what is its Device ID?

Many thanks in advance for your insightful answers.

Best regards

Chris
