Emax

Add SCSI capability to your Non-SCSI Emax 1.

I currently have 6 kits available.
Emax logic PCB Rev (version) 2 and 3 can be upgraded. Rev 1 boards cannot be
upgraded.

A rev 3 board will require no modifications of the logic board.
A rev 2 board needs modified.

Each set of chips will be tested in my Emax to verify operation prior to
shipping.

Kit includes:
IP379a PAL
SCSI Capable EPROM (boot prom)
AM5380PC SCSI Controller
28-pin socket for the EPROM
Wire-wrap wire for the necessary modifications.
50-pin SCSI internal ribbon cable (non-terminated).
HD-capable Emax OS disk (either SE or Non-SE... please specify when ordering
in your paypal comment).

Each kit is $50.

Shipping in the US is USPS priority mail. Up to two kits is $7.25 for
shipping.
International Shipping varies.

The kit does not include-
HARD DISK /SCSI Drive
"external SCSI adapter board" / or external connector- but external
connectors are readily available from many sources (ebay or online).
A mounting plate to mount the HD (make one from sheet metal or steel, etc) -
or a 5 1/4 to 3 1/2 in drive bay converter kit / rails may work for this
purpose also.
A power splitter - I am not including this as I have different reports as to
whether this is needed for all emax.
Some Emax units already have a power cable for a hard drive. Both of my Emax
did.

This kit has been successfully used with:
SCSI Zip
SCSI Compact Flash
SCSI hard drive
IDE CF (works via an ACARD SCSI bridge adapter.....)

The modifications are not extremely complicated.
You need to be reasonably skilled with a soldering iron to perform the
modifications.
I am not responsible for failed modifications to your logic board.

If you are in doubt as to whether you can successfully install the kit, I
will install the kit onto the Emax logic board for $100 +shipping

Installation available currently in the US only (for the time being, this
may change).

This includes:
SCSI chipset kit
Installation Labor
Verification of floppy and SCSI boot.
OS Floppy
Internal SCSI cable.

Installation for Emax Rev 2 boards only.

Working boards only.

Upon receipt of an Emax board, I will test that the board boots and appears
to work properly.
If the board does not succeed boot test, I will send it back and not attempt
installation.
In that event, money would be refunded minus the return shipping cost.
