Emax

Hello,

I'm going to be adding an internal zip drive to my Emax but I'm trying 
to decide how to go about the power supply.  The details are as follows:

I have an Emax rack and an Emax HD keyboard.  I swapped the Emax HD 
keyboard's boards with the Emax rack's in order to convert the rack 
into an HD version.  The change was a success but now I don't know if 
there is a difference between the Emax and Emax HD's power supply.

I have read in this forum that an internal zip drive will "burn out" a 
power supply and I'm also asuming that the Emax power supply has less 
capacity than the Emax HD's.  

I looked at the Emax HD's power supply and I was able to get these 
specifications:

C50.31E
p4.9.14/+5v/5a
p2.7.12/+12v/1.85a
p1.6.11/12v/0.34a
p3.8.13/dc com
-Max 40w

I also looked in the Emax's power supply, but there weren't any 
specifications like that.

As Does anybody know if the emax hd's power supply and the emax power 
supply are of equal capacity?  Does anybody have any recomendations on 
how to go about having an internal zip drive powered safely?  I'm 
looking for an internal zip drive so I can boot from it.

Thanks.

-Marco

it may sound ugly but i used to gig around with a whole 2nd PC power
supply just for the internal ZIP, its far easier to use the external
and have a wall plug for it...

Most electronic equipment is designed for specific
components in the system.  I would not recommend you
try to adapt the unit since you are not taking into
consideration things such as ripple/noise.  The long
term effects of foreign equipment into the system.  My
advise is to make it simple.  Enclose the external
powersupply into the emax unit.  Tap into the line
current (before it enteres the Emax P/S).  Mount it
inside, this way you only have one plug without
tapmering with the Emax's DC currents.

You are putting a internal PC Zip100 in the rack.......Its 5Vs dont know how much room 
is in the E rack....but the int. power supply might make more heat....I might get a
used 200w computer power supply and make a plug to go into the E rack....to the zip
if this is a studio rack not a road....unit....but if in a road rack that would be ok to.

Update:  I've changed the power supplies just in case.  Now I have to 
figure out if there's a way to boot from the zip without having a 
floppy connected.  I've created a thread for this separate subject 
and your help would be appreciated.

Thanks for all the tips.
