Emax

Was there some discussion on this group about adding a hard disk to a
non-HD EMAX. I started to pursue this a year ago and was told that the
hex files for programming the programmable logic devices and EPROM was
no longer available.  Has this problem been solved and if so, could
someone post the hex files?  Thanks.

I was one of those in waiting. Originally, Rob from Emulator Archive  
was going to see if he could make it happen. He met with Emu, got the  
bin/hex files, and was going to make chips for sale. But he didn't  
have a chip programmer that could handle the specific chips.  Then,  
as I understand it, he passed the torch to Route66, and nothing  
definitive has happened that I am aware of since then.

I got lucky and found a "dead" Emax HD rack on ebay- cost me about  
$60, moved the chips over to my keyboard that was non HD, and, since  
I had hard drive spares from several macs I had parted, got it all  
working, else I would still be in the non-HD crowd.

Best of luck- I think my route (finding a dead one for parts) is  
probably the best available answer at this point.

Sorry I am not much more help than that.
