Emax

I am not sure where you get the idea there is a 20MB limit on the Emax II drive size. The Emax I  
HD model had a 20MB internal hard disk but as far as I know the smallest internal hard disk the 
Emax II ever shipped with was 40MB. 

The main limitation for the Emax II that a hard disk can only contain a maximum of 100 banks. So 
an 8MB Emax II can theoretically store a maximum of 800MB of data if all the banks were 
completely full. But the factory library banks are of variable size and usually do not even come 
close to filling 8MB. 

Of course if you have less than 8MB of RAM in your Emax II then the maximum amount of data 
that can be stored on the hard disk will be proportionally less, ie 200MB with 2MB RAM, 400MB with 
4MB RAM etc. 

I cannot confirm the exact maximum drive size limit, perhaps someone else can, but I think a 
512MB CF card should be fine for general use.
