Emax

Hi,
E-mu shipped a variety of motherboards in Emaxs, especially in the late
80's. They sometimes put complete Emax HD boards into base Emax cases
because it was cheaper to produce them like that. So its always worth
looking inside your Emax to see what you have.

All Emaxs can be upgraded to HD and SCSI, but only Emaxs with a later
motherboard are in any way a practical proposition. Emax HD and Emax SE HD
are the right candidates for the job, and I can help with the necessary SCSI
connector and OS Plus and SE upgrades.

Non HD Emaxs are now very difficult to upgrade (and original Emaxs nearly
impossible), as new PAL chips are proving hard to burn, although the EPROM
and SCSI chip can be done, as can the necessary PCB cuts. All the
documentation is on the web site for those interested. The ZIP100 is a very
cool upgrade, and it will take 36 Banks, formats in 2 seconds, loads
quickly. And I have the OMI sample banks from the Emax OMI CDROM's as
ZIP100's....so you can access 700 sample banks for the Emax...

If anyone in the UK is after an Emax SE HD SCSI, I may be selling a rack or
keyboard unit in a few months, complete with ZIP100 drive and 30+ carts full
of Pro samples. And Sound Designer Universal for sample editing and maybe a
Mac too..  Just depends what kinda offer I get.

  The Emax that I got off eBay turned out to be an HD without the
  sticker.
  The seller never said anything about it having a internal drive,
  they only stated that they didn't have any floppies with O.S.
  It was a pleasant surprise as was the conditon of the unit.
