Re: EMAX 2 Memory Compatibility/Transplantability

A few years ago I got my hands on a broken Emax II that had 8MB of 
Ram (6mb Ram expansion board)  I took this out and put it in my Emax 
II 2mb keyboard.  When I rebooted it had only the original 2MB.  
Here's what you need to do.

I called Emu Systems and they ran me through a process where I would 
enter a code and then they would give me a subsequent code for me to 
enter.  From memory we did this about 5 or 6 times and at the end 
when I rebooted the Emax II I had all 8MB showing.

I tried to get Emu to give me a copy of this program that would 
create answer to my codes but they were unwilling to give it up.  
Unfortuantley I don't recall who I spoke with at Emu to get this done 
either.  Keep trying Emu and eventually they will get you hooked up.

I shared this info with Rob at Emulator Archive sometime ago and he 
might know the right guy to talk to at Emu.

Good Luck
