Re: [emax] Using Programmed PIC micro Controller

No, I have not tried it with an Emax, I just saw this mentioned today on the Waldorf mailing list. 
The price is approximately $USD350. 

According to the manual there are jumpers that set the disk drive mode.  I don't know if that 
relates to drive ID or something else. 

It may be worth emailing the manufacturer with more detailed questions at info@...
