Re: I am a new Emax owner!!! I need memory advice.

Hi

I got one with external drive but I want to have it complete more as a curiosity item rather 
than a workhorse. I am even looking for an Atari ST computer fully expanded. 

I may use it live but specially because is an Emax sampler and is a curiosity for the legacy. 
The rest of the show will be running from a 17" Mac Book Pro with Logic... but that is not 
fun. 

Thanx.
