Yes, the drive works with Emax 2.
I don't have an Emax 2, so I cannot make a bootable flash for you.
I only have 32MB flash, and the Emax 2 can use much larger (I believe  
up to 1GB).

As to PCMCIA adapter, they are easily available.
A known working item is MCR-5A you can get them off ebay for about $10 .
You can store many banks on the Emax 2 on one flash. I don't know  
exactly how many banks....
Bank load time is a couple of seconds.

Ted

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
