Is my emax dead finally?

Hello emax group! I'm owning an old Emax I, which I got from a friend some years ago. Btw, he didn't know anything about this strange "keyboard", exactly like me. From time to time I tried get some sound out of it, but had not much success. I think it produced sound for about two times, but I really had not any idea how I achieved this, because just one of the disks was working sometimes. Most time the emax hanged-up(?). About two months ago I wanted to chuck it out and tried it for the very last time and it was working. I found out how to use this emx programm and created some bank disks. But then finally it couldn't read the os-disk any more, the disk was damaged. I tried to create new os-disks, but the emax didn't read. I verified them with emx, everthing was fine. But the emax couldn't read it anymore. I think the floppy drive is dead, because it is accessed three times and then it hangs-up or starts again (infinite loop). Have u any ideas what I can do now? I live in Austria, I think ordering new parts will not be that easy, right?! Bye Flo (who is sorry about his Austrian English ;-)
