Emax

Is there a way to get a copy of your original to the group?  Or would that still be a crack?  It would just be a floppy image correct?  or does it have a dongle?

I am using the one we have in the files section and I don't think anyone else has gotten it to work with the emax either (correct me if I am wrong).

  I am running Alchemy 3.0 on Performa 6214 with OS 8.1 You are not  
  supposed to hook the midi and serial cable up at the same time as both  
  ports run off the same chip in the emax. the midi alone does work, but  
  is slower. the whole reason for the serial cable is it is WAY faster. I  
  built my cable myself, and it works great. So it should work. You may  
  have problems with Alchemy if it is a "cracked" copy. I believe the  
  cracked copy never worked for me (I remember the Keymap errors), and  
  crashed several times. I got lucky and found an original copy, which  
  has never crashed on me....although I haven't used it "tons"....

  Hope that info helps,
  Ted
