no 2 is the best option

1 would be the best if you had a revision 1 board

but as you have a c then the scsi is thew best option

  Subject: [emax] Greetings, new Emax 1 owner - questions...


    
  Hello - I just picked up a rack Emax 1, non scsi for 50$ with manual. Looks super clean, but I don't have any disks to test it right now, but powers up etc...

  1. the disk eject seems to not be working. I can put a disk in, but the disk doesn't "seat" itself properly, and then I have to pull it out manually.

  2. It's a rev c board, which I assume is upgradeable to scsi...?

  So, since I have little money invested in it so far, what would people recommend for options.

  1. spend the money (about 135$) for an HxC

  2. Scsi upgrade w/slim floppy and scsi card reader

  3. replace the floppy with a working drive (models?)

  I picked this up to play around with and compare to my EII. I'd like to keep it as inexpensive as possible, but am willing toput some work into it.

  Thanks for any advice!
