 SCSI into Emax I keyboard and rack units.
 
 The SAME RULES APPLY that did before as per the SCSI upgrade docs at  
 Emulator Archive-
 a rev 3 board will take the chips- no mods if I recall.....
 a rev 2 board needs modified
 
 A rev1 cannot be upgraded.
 
 I have PALs in stock.
 
 I can make the EPROMs and I can source the SCSI controllers.
 
 I need to find out how many people want this kit, so I can order  
 EPROMs and SCSI controllers that will be needed.
 
 The number of EPROMs and controllers will somewhat dictate the price,  
 as sourcing the SCSI controllers will be the unknown variable at this  
 point.
 
 The cost of the kit is expected to be $50 USD + shipping - depending  
 on what the controllers cost.
 
 Here is your chance to get SCSI!
 
 THIS SET DOES NOT INCLUDE A HARD DISK- but can be used with SCSI Zip,  
 SCSI Compact Flash / SD, SCSI hard drive, etc.   IDE CF works via an  
 ACARD SCSI adapter.....
 
 For testing purposes I purchased two controllers and EPROMS, so I  
 currently have two sets available now for $50 USD +shipping.
 
 First come first serve.
 
 Once the controllers and EPROMS are ordered, I should have enough kit  
 to make about 45 sets with current PAL inventory.
 
 Each set of chips will be tested in my Emax to verify operation prior  
 to shipping.
 
 Regards,
 Ted
 
 PS- Thanks go out to:
 Rob at Emulator Archive for getting me the binaries
 The MAME (Arcade Emulation) "ROM dumps" team members who helped me  
 determine what was not quite right with those PAL binaries, enabling  
 us all to add SCSI once again.
