Emax

The disk drives from emulatorarchive.com are quite expensive.  You need a
Shugart-compatible drive, which is different from a normal PC drive.
There's details somewhere around for making up a cable to convert between
the types (the pins are slightly different).  Try http://www.buchty.net for
the info, IIRC it's in the Casio FZ-1 section.
A drive from a Mirage or SQ80 or similar ought to work.  You could try an
early Atari ST drive, it might work.  You might have more luck with an Amiga
drive, I seem to recall that they were Shugart.  I've heard it mentioned
that Emaxes used Apple drives - they don't.
