IF you know what you are doing, almost any IBM compatible floppy can be changed to work with the emax. I bought a black drive (don't remember brand), and looked at the old drive, followed its circuitry, compared to new drive and moved one or two surface-mount jumpers. ***FYI: I have worked as an electronics tech and have the equipment, and the knowledge of what I am doing. The drive did not fit directly in however. And a standard drive leaves a large gap. I then had to fabricate a bracket. This took me a good couple of hours cutting, drilling, measuring, etc. I have electronics tools. I don't have a machine shop. If you really want your emax to work, and if the Route66 drive is a straight plug in, correct size and all, do it.... thats just my opinion. I get paid about $20 an hour. By the time I finished, my time was probably worth the cost of the Route66 drive.....if not more.... thanks, Ted
