Finally got one!

2010-10-03 by Hans Matthijssen

In the 80s and 90s I've always been a big Depeche Mode fan. Saw them playing the Emulator and EMAX and dreamt about owning one of those myself. Unfortunately at that time they were far to expensive for a student at that time.

Last week though I found one on a dutch second hand website for only 100 euros :-) It's an EMAX II, with 2MB memory. Unfortunately only a floppy drive, no harddisk. So first thing I've done is order a bunch of DSDD floppies.

Then I found this usergroup and saw that there were other options. I'm going to find a SCSI to IDE adapter so I can use CF cards.
If anyone has some good advise on this, please tell me (what to use, what to look out for, anything).
I was wondering if it would be possible to use an internal card reader, fitted in such a way that you can easily swap CF cards (of course you would have to cut a little hole in the housing), has anyone done that yet?
