Emax

...I think the problem is, ted looked very hard and couldn't find the 
datasheet (and therefore the opcodes) for the microprocessor the emax 
uses.. and without anyone knowing what the opcodes are, no disassembly 
or hacking is possible.....

so to modify the emax to boot off a different kind of device, or handle 
more banks per disk, you'd have to replace the main microprocessor, and 
rewrite everything from scratch.

that's do-able, but wouldn't exactly be fun...
