Re: [emax] Re: drive floopy disk

2006-06-04 by ted Summers

If i understand correctly:
Yes the drive can be replaced. A normal floppy drive must be modified  
to be DS0 with a jumper to work. Most drives will not just work (they  
are DS1), and must be modified. Older floppy drives have a jumper,  
newer drives do not... on new drives everything is soldered on the  
board with small "surface-mount" pieces that require a little skill  
to properly modify. route66.com has replacement drives if you do not  
have technical skill / knowledge to modify a replacement drive  
yourself. The route66 drive is a drop in replacement (remove cover  
from emax. Unplug 2 wires, plug in two wires, replace cover, and you  
are done). -Emax works again.

Hope that helps clear up what to do,
Ted
