Emax

Ya the floppy drive will work from the rack to the keyboard, but that teac drive you have could be buggy. Glad to hear you got a working drive, let me know if there is anything else I can do to help.

  Hello Rich,

  MMM, this is a strange one....I received a floppy drive this morning from Stephen 
  'Emulator_island'. The floppy came from Stephen's destroyed Emax II keyboard, and I was 
  please to discover that this floppy worked in my Emax II rack!!
  So, I don't know what's going on, but I'm glad to report the the 2nd replacement floppy is 
  now working!!!
  Many thanks indeed for your post Rich.

  Happy holiday!!!

  All the best

  Dave
