Emax

i have used teac/ mitshita/ sony and  dell which are branded teac

to name a few and they all work the same but some come with the wrong type cable as they use a special; motherboard connection that is reversed

and the slim floppy adapters the connection is opposite

  I used a Teac F05HG slim floppy drive with Ted's little floppy adapter board in my Emax keyboard.


  But other slim floppy drives may work as well (see the compatibility database in this group), e.g. I also have some Sony drives as spare part.





  I bought my drives second hand on Ebay.

  Yep,
  you are right
  want to go 60b and slim floppy conversion.
  Where do I buy a slim floppy?
  Anywhere?
  Any special pin assignments need to be made?

  My unit is an Emax I HD
  with OS HD SE rEv 1.1

  I think its FDD is shot as it won't read emx formatted disks and when it formats disks emx wont read them. It only reads its own disks.
  POS
  ha ha
  Right on!

      fit a slim floppy they are new

      getting a floppy that will fit the hole is really hard and they cost just as much as a floppy emulator does

      so a floppy emulator or a slim floppy pcd-60b combo might be a better option as seeing you have a emax hd

      have you upgraded to the se yet as you need todo that before your machine will see a plus os disk 

      and you need omniflop for creating that as its a img from esynthesis

        Right
        I truly believe my Emax FDD is original and 
        being so old
        It needs calibration and head alignment
        and or just over all replacement
        do you know of anyone or a professional
        shop that can do this?
        Thank Youl

          Indeed; the fancy GUI version will require a huge license fee :-)

          BTW: I'm always wondering why some musicians succeed in operating an Ensoniq Mirage but menu-driven DOS style programs.

          I understand that having step-by-step guides would be very nice but there are so many different things that users can achieve with EMXP that it's simply impossible to write step-by-step guides for all of these scenarios. Remember: EMXP supports multiple samplers, multiple disk/file types per sampler, and multiple types of activities (reading, writing, formatting, copying, deleting, converting, ...)

          That being said... the problem regarding creating Emax ZIP disks and how to efficiently copy banks to them is imho actually pretty well explained in the manual (including step-by-step text boxes) in chapter 6.1 on page 107-109.





          Good to hear that you succeeded in creating the Emax ZIP disk.




          Regarding the floppy drive issue: it could be the head alignment/calibration of the Emax drive itself which is deviating too much from the standard norm (as opposed to the floppy drives of your PCs)

          SO

          Yeah.... I get it...this is a VERY LITERAL PROGRAM.

          there just needs to be a simple step by step guide on what you

          need to make a zip disk, so in next post I am posting an easy, step by step guid on how to create a zip disk.

          Thanks for making this freeware Program...we'd all be screwed without it way worse than if we didn't have it

          :)
