Emax

I think you will find that any PC floppy disk drive with a jumper to set it to master will work. I simply connected up one that I found in a junk pile when my drive gave up the ghost. Make sure you connect up the cables properly eg. pin 1 on connector to pin 1 on cable, the power cable should only connect up one way.

 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
