RE: [emax] Just bought Emax & server space

2002-11-24 by Rob Keeble

Hi,
The Emax SE HD will run a ZIP100. Get an internal ZIP100 SCSI drive second
hand. It will replace the internal hard drive, which is way too noisy, just
move power and SCSI cabling from the old drive to the ZIP. Copy your 3.5"
diskettes onto ZIP carts, then mount the ZIP drive in the floppy cut out
(you may need to file the cut out just a bit to get the ZIP to fit - but the
mountings are in the right place.

The Emax will boot from the ZIP if you set it to SCSI ID 0.

The Emax will not work with Syquets, ZIP250 - only a few hard disks
(miniscribe 8425S).

Regards

Hi John

You mentioned " Syquest cartridges"  What are these
and where can you purchase them?

Is there any way of dumping sounds via the SCSI port
from computer to EMAX?

I just bought an old EMAX-SE-HD, it seems the HD is
failing and DS/DD disks are not all that common any
more. Any suggestions on referbishing?

Many thanks

Tom
