Burning an Emax Cd

Burning an Emax Cd

2004-01-05 by Pedro H

Does anyone know how can we burn an Emax Cd?
I was told that it was through a SCSI channel. (a SCSI "blind" channel, which I don´t know what means).
And If so, can we do it with a pc software, as nero?
Thanks.
Regards.
Pedro.

  Hi,
  Yes - just a bit. This selects which port the Emax is connected too over the
  serial cable (RS422). Don't use MIDI, its 17 times slower than RS422. E-mu
  Systems were hoping that MIDI would use serial RS422 rather than Dave Smiths
  rather slow DIN standard....E-mu were excluded from MIDI discussions in
  1982/83, as E-mu had to sue Sequential Circuits over the none payment of
  license fees re-the Prophet 5. Thats why all E-mu Systems products have
  RS422 connectors up until 1988.

    rs422, I have the emax selected and the RS as well.

    there is a page with a phone or a printer for midi in and out. does it
    matter which?

    Thanks

Re: [emax] Burning an Emax Cd

2004-01-05 by John Silveria

An Emax wouldn't be able to use a CD-ROM drive and I don't think it would work if you 
put it in a SCSI chain with a PC, I think it would lock-up. If you have the Zip mod done to 
your Emax you could probably make an image of that via your PC. 

It is possible to make a CD image of an Emax II drive. You just need to put it in a SCSI 
chain with a computer that has software that will make an image (sector by sector) I'm 
not sure Nero supports this. The closest mode I saw in my version of Nero was the HD 
Backup which makes an image of an entire HD that can be used to reimage your hard 
drive and have it be bootable again. I know there use to be some freeware/shareware 
programs that could make blind images of Emax II drives via a PC, but I don't have 
copies of the messages anymore. We discussed this about 7 years ago. So the 
messages may still be archived. Search Google maybe they are floating around, make 
sure to use Google's Newsgroup archive as well.  I know you have to be very careful 
most Windows platforms will ruin the Emax II drive by writing information to them if they 
detect the drive there at boot up or shut down.

Pedro take a look on the Emulatorarchive under Emax then CDROMS and you should follow those instructions carefully. I wrote those about 2 years ago when I was playing around with the SCSI port on my Emax Plus. I have since placed all of my Emax banks on CDROM for safe keeping and I can access the CDROM as needed. Obviously I'm getting more use out of the Emax II these days. You can make a hard drive image of your banks using a SCSI ZIP drive 35 banks. My PC was fitted with a Parallell Port Zip which was recognized by the DISKTOFILE.EXE program as a SCSI device. Easy to make the image but not so easy today to burn the ISO to CD. The big problem today is that the new burners for the PC today don't seem to recognize the ISO image file created by DISKTOFILE.EXE so I use my old 2X Memorex CRW1622 (ide type) to burn the image to CD and it works well for me. I think the new ones are looking for a windows type of ISO image. I do have a SCSI CDROM Drive floating around the house known to work with my Emax Plus that I may be willing to part with for a nominal amount if you're interested.

Are you trying to copy an existing Emax CD of sound
banks or make a new one?

I can suggest an easier alternative. If you have a PC, download Translator 
Free. It can view Emax hard drives (or any Emu hard drive), and allows you to:

Create Virtual Drives (Images) in Emax format
Read and Write Emax banks to these
Burn them using most burning softwares to CD-R, then use them in your Emax

If the person wanted to take different things off his ZipDrives, this seems 
like a perfect solution for him.

Yes, but since the Emax I was never SCSI, I don't think it applies.

Well the Emax I Plus is Scsi. and I have one.  Certain Emax HD's can be upgraded to SCSI, check the emulator archives.

But I meant about the translator free burning banks.
