We have discussed the several times before and I was sure the final
decision was that the SE upgrade is nothing more than a new OS.
Anyway with the state of E-mu as it is and their complete shut down of any
service, parts, or sound library for their gear I don't think anyone is
going to care if you offer images of your upgrade disk to help support
users who E-mu like to now pretend don't exsist. If you don't feel
uncomfortable sharing the disk personally then contact me and we'll find
a way for you to get me a copy and I'll offer it to everyone myself. I
honestly don't think they are going to care, after all they sent me a disk
with every final OS (plain Emax, SE, SE HD, Plus, and Emax II) they had so
I could offer them to users and certianly those are something they would
be more protective over than an upgrade disk. If E-mu knew what was good
for them they would just put every piece of information on their
discontinued equipment out there even if it was just through Rob and I.
In similar news I am still on the look out to purchase an Emax SE HD rack
so I can start offering the sound library and all the versions of the OS
to anyone who wants it. I need an SE HD because I'm going to add an
external SCSI port for zip support so I can easily copy 72 banks at a time
to floppy. I recently saw a group of 36 Emax banks go for $48 on ebay and
I cringed.
