Hi Nothing....same sample engine...just the sample libraries are different. Or and AES and other studio friendly features. The EIIIX was delayed by 3 years....E-mu Systems were going to build on the E3 platform with new cards and features, including record to disk. But all these good ideas were killed off, as E-mu Systems went down market to get volume and revenue with the Protues. The E3 nearly killed E-mu...and the Direct to Disk option never worked. Digidesign solved the porblem in software (interlaced writing as the disk speed was too slow). The EIIIX project (2nd or even 3rd attempt) eventually got the go ahead, but only as a stop gap until the E4 arrived with new DSP chips and new OS. EIIIX was a double Emax II with different memory chips and the E3 OS, hacked up as a low cost development. regards rob www.emulatorarchive.com . <http://geo.yahoo.com/serv?s=97359714/grpId=233380/grpspId=1705032144/msgId= 4749/stime=1226614996/nc1=3848607/nc2=3848641/nc3=5522133> [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
