Emax

Hi 

I'm new to this group and this posting caught my eye. I currently only 
still have my Emax II.  I got rid of my original Emax ages ago but... 
there is a chance I might have the "Emax SE Update/Development Disk" 
data. Long story!  I'd have to really look for it. The original upgrade 
did write back to the disk so you could only use it once. Emu was a 
little funny this way.(Especially with the memory upgrade procedure for 
the Emax II!!) It's been a long time since I used an Emax but the 
problems you're having are probably due to the fact your machine really 
isn't an SE. Gotta run for now, but I will be here if you want to 
reply.
