Emax

Unfortunately, both emax's I have had Mitsubishi drives.

 From what I gather though, the following is true:

A1-B1 Jumpered
G1-G2 Jumpered (always make sure your DS/HD disks have the hole  
covered so they act like 720k disks!)

Not sure about F3-G3, but try it off first.

The rest UNJUMPERED. The reason I say this is, I bought a standard  
floppy drive (black- do not remember if it was teac, sony or mitsumi)  
from newegg. I soldered the Surface mount jumper from ds1 to ds0.  
Tested and it worked with no problems. Then I made a bracket so there  
is no gaping hole in the front of my emax.

That is all I had to do to get a new working floppy in my emax  
(though making the bracket took a while)....

Thanks,
Ted
