Re: [emax] Re: PCD-50B alternative

2012-12-21 by jammie

they have been given the read and write firmware

but as of yet have not been tested with the emax

as they are made by the same manufacturer

they are 6 slot lun drives so the pcmcia slot is the only one that works 
like the pcd-50b

there are loads of pcd-60b surplus nos drives

available
and some people are selling them as kits that are twice the cost of buying 
your self

there is a surplus company on ebay that are selling them for $100 they are 
the cheapest as of yet

and they have a few hundred drives they wont last long

as mechware had 400 drives in november for the pcd-50b and was sold out by 
the second week of december

I haven't tested it.
That is a recurring question in my mind if one would work or not... but
haven't had one....

Thx,
