Re: Floppy Drives for Emax I SE

2007-10-31 by manicpeter

Hi there,

just got my first emax with SE, and the sampling is just awesome...
anyway...
i read somewhere on the web that you can get lucky with a lot of old
pc disc drives that were designed to read dd/sd floppies. when i have
a problem with my elecronics i go to a guy who works at a university
fixing computers and electronix. there might be somebody around where
you live with a messy department that doesnt clear anything out for
years...i know it sounds insane but worth a try?

best,
Peter
