Lucky You !

Let us know what you have found out there :-)

And.. if you really find those RAM upgrade kits, *please* make a 
floppy disk image of the supplied floppy disk(s) *before* ever using 
this disk in an Emax-II. Because once the Emax-II runs the software 
on the disk, the disk gets invalid.

The reason why having this backup is interesting is because sometimes 
people find Emax-II spare parts like memory boards, but they don't 
have the software to activate this memory upgrade, or the supplied 
disk has already been used...

If I remember well you are using Mac, but we would really appreciate 
it if you could find someone who is willing to create such a backup 
file with the OmniFlop tool (and driver) on a Windows XP/Vista PC 
with an internal floppy drive, and post these files to the group. 

Thanks in advance and have fun in the storage room.
