Emax

Ted-

I've dealt with this pawn shop before. I bought a Korg
DW-8000 in perfect condition and with the turbo update
from them recently for $25.00 because the write to
tape switch was on instead of off. I'm pretty sure I
can get the EMAX for about the same it I can get it to
boot without making any sound. I tried the EMXP route
but I didn't have an EMAX to try it with and when I
went to the pawnshop it didn't boot. I just thought
some one here could lend me a hand. I'm not going to
pay $25 for a disk when that's about what I'm going to
be paying for the EMAX itself. I'll keep trying to
find a way to get a disk. Thanks for your insight.
