Hi All!

HI there! I am new to this list, and thought I'd say hi. John, thanks for your website and dedication to the Emax machines. Your site has been a great resource for me. I bought a used 2mb Emax II a few years back. I managed to get one of the last memory daughtercards from Emu, and actually found the proper ram chips to populate it to 8 megabytes. Unfortunately I have never got it to recognize more than 4 megs; I called EMU about this and they said that have to run some program and give me a code (based on a code that my EmaxII gives them) that will "unlock" the extra RAM. My work schedule hasn't permitted me to be home with the sampler during normal business hours, and I have been putting it off. I hope it's not too late for someone at Emu can give me this code. I have an older Zip hooked up to it and have no problems. I also have an old Apple 2x CD-Rom drive hooked up to it. I bought an old 200mb internal HD, but havn't tried installing that yet. The guy I bought my machine from didn't have to many banks for it; I think he gave me the original Emu floppies for the grand piano, and some orchestral banks. The orchestral banks seem to be corrupted, they never load properly. I did buy a Greytsounds Volume1 CD, which has some OK analog synth samples, but they sound a bit dated. So my question is, does anyone have the original Emu banks on CD? I really want to use my Emax more, but just don't have the time to edit banks properly. Also, with a CD-R, does "SCSI copy" work to properly burn Emax CDs? By the way, OWC has a 540mb Quantum 50 pin SCSI drive for $25.
