Re: [emax] EMAX 2 Memory Compatibility/Transplantability

2005-02-09 by John Silveria

The install disk isn't available anywhere. It is a self corrupting install disk that only works 
once. I'm facing the issue right now that I installed a 2Mb expansion kit into my 4Mb 
Emax II and ran the install disk which didn't work. Now in order to get the memory to 
install I need to find someone at E-mu who knows how to create the override codes using 
an old Mac they have. From the cxustomer service rep I spoke to there is only one 
person there that can do that and he hasn't returned my calls. When I get a chance I'll 
convert the Memory Upgrade instructions that came with the kit, it goes over in detail all 
memory expansions and talks about what is necessary to complete them. I'm not sure 
you could take the 2Mb worth of chips from the mother board in one unit and add them to 
the daughterboard in another.
