Emax

I cant seem to find one.... its the replacements for the original emax
drive, but are these still around?

I bought new-old-stock one early this year to place into my S900. I
found the vendor thru google. If I can find the receipt, I'll give you
the store name. But try google. I just a few minutes ago saw two or
three vendors that had the drive for sale.

Floppy Drive: the DS/DD floppy drive of the Emax and Emax II is not a 
standard PC floppy drive. Orginal drives were made by NEC, but later 
models have a Mitsubishi Full Height 3.5" MF353B - 12 UJ or MF353BA - 
12U. The main difference here is that they can have their ID# set to 0 
where standard drives nowadays are hardset to ID1. Your best source for 
replacement floppy drives is Route 66 Studios. They also offer blank 
DS/DD diskettes $11 for 50. A floppy drive out of a Mac Classic will 
usually work as well.

route 66 can be found here

So Which emax got the Teac FD236HF-A529?
I have a Emax SE that the drive some times wont eject, did that have 
the Teac drive as standard? and whats the -A529 stand for?
The teac site lists it just as a FD235HF

Although not the same drive, I recently replaced the
floppy drive on my EIII keyboard.  I called Teac:

DSPD Parts Department:
voice:    (323) 727-4840
fax:       (323) 727-7632
e-mail:  parts@...

http://www.teac.com/DSPD/catalog.htm

Only thing I had to do was set the correct boot strap,
think it was two jumpers.

Got a brand new drive with bezel, was under $40
