Emax

esynthesis is right i have had iso images that have been 512mb but the 100 banks are only 300mb and had the same message

also the cd300 is the only apple one to work the e version was a later issue and ans scsi 2 spec and was not complient with the emax2 or e3 but does work with the emulator eos samplers

i have a cd300 and it does work with the emax2 and e3 but are rare

if you have a zip drive then use emxp to read the iso and transfer the banks to the zip drive

  Just for information: this warning message displayed by EMXP does not necessarily mean that the disk is not an Emax2 disk. 
  It only means that the original disk on which the banks were originally collected was bigger in size than the cdrom on which this disk was copied later on. 

  E.g. some sample production company originally used an 850MB SCSI Hard Disk to create the collection of banks on an Emax-II, but the total size of all 100 banks does not exceed 300MB. Then they copied the "used part" of the hard disk to a cdrom, including the index which still says that th original disk was formatted for 850MB.
  I think this way of working was even quite common practice at the time, so that's why EMXP is showing this message pretty often.

  BTW: Did you check both the ISO images and the burned CDROMs on EMXP ?
  I you mention were you have found the ISO files, perhaps we can check whether they are indeed corrupt too.

  Anyway, I would say: if EMXP is showing the bank overview after skipping this warning messge, the cdrom is probably OK and Emax2 compliant.

  But if I remember well, the Apple CD300e Plus is giving problems with the Emax2. I think you need a more basic version, like the Apple CD300 which works fine (I have one...)
