Re: [emax] PCD-50b SCSI drive availability, Zip drives

2009-12-05 by nung242

Hello Ted,
 I was going to sell my EMAX II keyboard because of the booting issues. The EMAX II I have has the SCSI kit already installed, so this drive you offer would work? Another question, are you including the PCMCIA card adapter and a bootable memory card with the latest O/S on it? If not what would be the extra cost? I would love to just be able to boot up and access the sound banks off of one drive, instead of booting off a floppy, then loading a new floppy everytime I want a different sound.
Thanks!

      I have 3 drives available.

5 Slot but only 1 slot works in Emax 1 and 2 -the PC Card slot.



I am told the PCD-50b also work with:

Korg DSS1

Akai S5000

Kurzweil K2500X

Oberheim DX1



They were "spoken for", but those persons have never followed through  

and paid.

And its been weeks.



So anyone wanting to purchase these, I still have them. First come  

first serve.



$30 each, they boot Emax, ready to go.



$12 to ship insured in US, international varies, so you will have to  

contact me direct for the quote.



Pictures of the drive, an example of a slim floppy and drive combo  

installed in a keyboard, and other tips and information related to  

Emax SCSI are here:

I also have for sale:

Emax 1  SCSI update kits available. ($50)

Slim floppy converters for $17.50 to allow you to put  a standard SLIM  

TEAC FD-05HG and a Zip or PCD-50b in the slot where the original  

floppy would be.

4 ATAPI IDE Zip drives with SCSI bridges.



1 black

2 clear dark grey (like in a Mac G4)

1 is white.



Selling for $20 Each.

The bridge can be set for ID0 to boot emax and will mount internally  

in the Emax Rack (especially with the floppy converter) OR an external  

enclosure.



I cannot recommend putting the Zip with Bridge in a keyboard as the  

SCSI bridge interferes with the keyboard keys.....so it doesn't  

physically fit in the available space.

You can make a cable to alleviate that, but it costs like $10 for  

parts to make the cable. :-(



Regards,

Ted
