Emax floppy drives

2009-03-16 by s*

I have been scouring the Internet today looking for lists of compatible emax
drives.  I am hoping to head to an electronics surplus store here in Toronto
after work.  I see that these models are compatible:

Mitsubishi Full Height 3.5" MF353B - 12 UJ or MF353BA - 12U
And some early NEC's
The drive that is currently in my Emax II was originally pulled from a
friend's EIII Keyboard (He killed my floppy a long time ago) and it is a
Sony.

Does the TEAC FD235HF-A529 work in the Emax II as well?

I read that a floppy drive from a Mac Classic might work so, I tried taking
apart a friend's dead Mac SE to use it's floppy drive, only to find that
it's not the same type of ribbon cable.

I would try route66 but, my friend ordered a drive for his Emulator II from
there and has never been able to get it to work and they stopped offering
him support apparently so, I want to avoid any hassle like that if
possible.

Any suggestions on what floppies will work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
