Subject: [emax] 6 SCSI kits available 

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. 

I take paypal. djtbs1 (at) gmail.com 

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. 

Regards, 
Ted Summers 
Springfield, OR USA
