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

2008-10-24 by mr julian

further to what John said, I think the emax mailing list is NOT a 
collection of everyone who has or uses an emax.

yeah there are bound to be more people out there who want to buy this, 
but who might be a bit scared about even opeing up the emax to even 
check if they have the right revision board. - letalone do the board 
mods that a rev2 PCB needs.  It'd be nice if there was a non-intrusive 
way to check what the requirements were.. then people with no tech 
skills could check for themselves, then if they wanted to upgrade, get 
the kit and take it all to their local tech and have them make it 
happen... but I don't think there is unfortunately.


so yeah - you are limited from a start, but staying further limited by 
only selling them on here (and ebay - I am a customer of yours, and I 
would never find your kit just on ebay cause I already have an emax - 
why would I search for another?) you basically need more exposure..... 
I'm happy to tell everyone I know who has an emax about you, but I don't 
know that many emax owners... so there's only so much use I am.

get yourself a basic website up. get some basic youtube videos out of 
the board checking procedure. so anyone with a screwdriver and an emax 
can comfortably check if they can use your expansion kit.... or at least 
a vidio that shows the advantages of having an internal flash drive... 
then see if emulatorarchive will link you. see if matrixsynth will link 
you. when the word gets around, you'll sell plenty of these.


And BTW, I think $50 is a fair price to pay for a kit that does all this...

good luck!
