Emax

Thanks for the reply and files.  I've put them in my "emax resource folder" on my computer.  I'm giving the Emax HD to a friend in another state because he has the time and patience to fix her up.  I'd love to keep it for parts but if anyone can fix it, he can.  Mine is working and is in better physical shape anyway.  I'll probably get another one for parts down the road.  The emax seems to be the only thing with the SSM2047 so gonna need a donor unit eventually.

Here are my problems right now with mine:

I need the SE OS on a DS/DD floppy.  I have no way to write the OS since that format is outdated.  I tried to contact route66 studios about buying the disk but no response.  Can anyone help?

I don't have any sound disks.  I have the complete Emax II library though.  I assume that I just need to convert these with EMXP and then send them to the Emax with the (after building) the EMuSer.   Correct?  Once I send the banks with that program, can I then write them to floppy disk with the Emax?  Is this thinking correct?

The second Emax was supposed to be a SE HD with a bad power supply, purchased from ebay.  It wasn't.  It was only an SE, and it wasn't the power supply that was bad either.  The seller was nice, though, and he refunded my money, minus shipping, and let me keep the rack.  So I know how you feel, swapping parts and all.

It needed a floppy drive so I swapped in the one from the first Emax so that's sorted.  But it seems that the HD OS disk I have will not run the SE Emax.  Anyone have the SE OS available?  I'd love to finally have a working Emax!  This one is *MINT* with original box, packaging materials and manual.  Unbelievable!  Just need that SE OS disk..
