Re: [emax] Emax SCSI Upgrade kits - WARNING...POSSIBLE RANT

2008-10-24 by John Silveria II

Keep in mind that even though some people may be interested in the kits 
the task of upgrading something in this fashion is far beyond the 
comfort level of most users. I'm currently stuck with a bad 4Mb 
expansion board in my Emax II because I think I put a chip in backwards 
and since I ran the memory install disk I have no way of running it 
again. E-mu can't get me the code to re-initialize the memory either so 
the board just sits in tehre unused :( . The community is fairly small 
and gets smaller ever year so you have a very small market to sell to. 
I'm sorry that you so far haven't broken even, but if that was a concern 
you should have either told the group you would only make the kits once 
you reached a certain number of orders or just accept that what you have 
done is a labour of love and may take a long time to recoup costs. As we 
all know our economy is in pretty dire straights right now and spending 
even $50 on something like retrofitting an Emax might not be exactly 
where people want to place their money right now. Feel free to continue 
to offer your kits every so often through the group.
