Emax

Not sure if the post from me, but I've definitely done it before and it works.  You just have to find a creative way to fill the gap.

If you look at the pcb on the floppy drive (assuming it has no jumpers for drive select), then somewhere you will see a silk screen for DS and some kind of surface mount resistor bridging two points.  I.E. mine looked something like
(0)
o
|
o---o (1)
(I)

Three points.  One labeled 0, another labeled 1 and a point in the middle, I.  So when the drive is set DS1, the resistor bridges 1 and I.  If you carefully unsolder it and solder it between 0 and I, then it is DS0.  
The thing is that it is very probably a surface mount resistor and I'm not set up to do any SM so it is kind of hard to keep this very tiny resistor in place while you are trying to solder it back on and you can very easily lose it if you are careless after removing it.  

Give it a try.  Floppy drives are so inexpensive that if you mess it up, then you can just try again on another.

Good Luck,

 I looking for a disk drive for my emax, i understand that old Mac drives 
 wil do.
 But in the archives of this group there is a post about modyfying an pc 
 drive to an emax drive 'id 0'
 but it semed to me a bit unclear how to actually doing it, is the person 
 still here ? have anybody else tried it ?
 any pictures of the process ?
