Emax

i used a pc with a parallel usb drive and used th exe image software to burn 
the image to the zip disk then loaded said zip disk into the mac and 
executed the program from the zip disk

worked fine

my other comps have audiomedia2 card the 840 quadra and i used the sd2 
floppies to get the program working on them

and i have an accelerater 2 dsp card soundtools which was the dsp card 
before protools and use the same floppy disks for for both hard ware cards 
as the hardware card is the dongle

basically the same as the emulatorx is for the pc only works with emu 
hardware until they did version 3

i have set up disks 1.2 2mb sd2 then i have 2.2 and 2.5

and a neat box like the old vst cubase box that houses the software and the 
books

then i have the driver softwares for the dsp cards and there associate 
programs that come with them

the accellerator card comes with an external adc dac convertor and is much 
better than the audiomedia 2 as the audio analog path is away from the 
digital of the come so no interference or crosstalk

also the old macII have 8bit soundcards so the sound output is in 8bits it 
was only with the hardware would it do 16bits

but you could have a 16bit samples viewed in a macII and you could sample 
dump them

it was not until the quadra range did they come with sample inputs at 16bits 
with out soundcards
