Emax

Hi,
Thanks for posting your story, it's quite inspirational!

I have an emax HD SE rack unit that I want to modify as you have done
and I had a few questions.
1) It looks like the actual sequence that worked was: attach the
PCMCIA reader; boot from floppy; format the PCMCIA card; copy the OS
(and data?) to the PCMCIA card from your Dell; boot from PCMCIA card.
Is that right? You modified jumpers because you didn't want the floppy
drive. I was going to leave mine in and poke a hole in the back of the
rack for my PCMCIA cards to fit in. Now that you've blazed the trail,
this seems like an evening's work or thereabouts -- am I missing
something?
2) I don't think I found the references to using SCM PCD-15Bs in MPCs.
Do you have a link? I can't find a PCD-15B on Ebay (you seem to have
bought them all! ;) Or maybe it's that I'm in the US and they're not
here?) Any advice on selecting a different compatible adapter?
3) I assume that any PCMCIA memory card will work, but I'd love to
know which ones you're using, if you don't mind saying. I'm not wildly
savvy about hardware, but my poor dear Emax needs help, so I'm trying
to muddle through.

Once again, thanks for an inspiring set of posts -- I've always wanted
to get rid of the noise of the hard drive, too, so the upgrade sounds
wonderful!
