Re: [emax] Slim Floppy in EMAX Rack

2013-01-22 by Ted Summers

Yes - let us know regards PCB-60B.
Especially if the PC Card doesn't stick out.

As to the slim floppy on the top- simple.

For rack I modify the existing bracket on one side and the other side I
fabricate an add on bracket.

For Keyboard, I get two flat pieces of metal.
drill holes in the side to mount to the sides of the 3.5" media drive.
The holes line up from to back.
So then you just have to do the measurement from top to bottom and add some
small spacers to center the floppy drive on top of the other one.

if I recall correctly it is .9 inches from the side hole on media drive in
the upwards direction to drill the holes for the slim floppy mounting.

The slim floppy uses 2.6mm screws- but I don't know the length exactly.
I can tell you that if the length of the 2.6mm screws are too long on the
front, the floppy won't eject properly and also can cause the drive to not
read the disk properly (therefore causing emax not to boot).

Fix the length problem, and the same disk will boot it ok.
