Emax

Thanks for the info!

It is indeed an emax that I am referring to.. and not the second one ... =p

One of the two that I have, have already a harddrive installed, and I've
been through them and I guess I can for the moment work with booting one
of them with diskette... I'm primarily using them for midi triggering for
live use.. Modified to look the way I want .. I'll post some pics in here
when I'm finished with the pair .. ;)

Speaking of .. I seem to recall somewhere someone talking about how to
replace the LCD ... with a blue-ish style LCD instead, which would look
great with the paintjob I'm doing on the machines...

.. any idea ?

Thanks for the help on the harddrive again.. I guess i'll have to make it
with the (only) working diskdrive i have inbetween the pair...
