Emax

you need a SCSI HDD, with a SCSI HDD case, and a SCSI cable that 
connects to the case (depending on what connector the case has) and to 
the ESI4000 (D25???)

the drive itself doesn't seem to be a major issue. Check out the info 
here. though cause the sampler is so old, compatability lists won't talk 
of any new drives you coul;d buy new today...

I think it's not possible to transfer samples either way between emax1 
and esi4000  I seem to remember the ESI samplers will load samples from 
an emaxII formatted drive, but even then, you can't load ESI samples 
into the EmaxII.

so in short - no, you can't use the ESI4000's SCSI drive with your Emax 
HDSE.
