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

Yes, the Universe of Sounds collection (I believe that was the name more 
info on my website) came with a CD-Rom drive that used the RS-422 port. 
But that's not the same as having the Emax execute a receive/send bulk 
dump command via Sysex through the port. Once again I stress this is if 
understand all that I've read and been told over the last 20 years.
