Emax

Ney i just bought a Emax 1 and it only is coming with a boot disc. Does anyone have any or know where I can get cheap disc of sounds for it. I found a guy on ebay but he said I need to buy a scsi harddrive to use his stuff. Not real familiar with that stuff. Can you help me out or know what I should do?

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
