Re: Will the drive in a macintosh classic work in the emax??????

2008-11-20 by Niklas Noren

If I remember it right is the Emax disk drive a Shugart drive.
Some old mac did have Shugart drives.

I think that you can try to replace your broken floppy drive with an 
old mac drive.

Lots of other samplers and synths did have Shugart drives, like 
Ensoniq VFX-sd, SD and EPS, Korg 01/W, and Casio FZ-1.
