EMAX

Assuming you are wanting to do Sample transfers, you will need an Older Mac with the serial ports (pre USB Macs) So an old Quadra or even a Beige G3 should run it. You will also need the RS422 cable which are tricky to find, although I'm sure you can find the pin-out diagram and make one. 
I used to use a Quadra 700 back in the day(about 15-16 years ago) although I never managed to get the 422 working and ended up using it with MIDI SDS(which is painfully slow)

If you have a modern Mac(as I do), then you may be better off using EMXP on an old windows Laptop to convert WAVs into Emax banks. Via a couple of Zip drives.

I can now export .Wav samples onto a USB Zip drive and then use EMXP on the XP laptop to convert into an Emax Bank which will be read By the SCSI Zip drive I have connected to my Emax.

This sounds more long winded than it is and trust me, it is a lot less painful than the old Sample Dump Standard transfers

hope this helps
