Emax

I've got a 486 that I keep specifically for writing HD Mac disks, Emax disks
and Ensoniq Mirage disks.  Anything with a floppy will do.  Freedos works
well for this job (www.freedos.org).

The problem I have is that samples loaded from an Emax I disk into my Emax
II sound "clicky", ie the loops are somehow wrong.  But it's not just loops,
it can click in the attack portion of a sound.  All very wierd.  I'm rather
worried that it's going senile, and a memory IC is going bad.  The
self-tests exonerate it completely though.  Strange...

Cheers,
  Gordon
