take three megs, three tablespoons of milk, salt and pepper, and combine in
a bowl.  using a fork or a whisk, beat the meg mixture till frothy.  melt a
1/4 tablespoon of butter in frying pan, pour meg mixture into pan, and cook
megs on med to med-low heat stirring and scrambling the megs with a spatula
until thoroughly cooked.

Scrambled Megs is not only for breakfast... When you want to add ram to your emax2 you 
need to run a diagnostic and then feed the numbers into a program called Scrambles 
Megs.  It spits out digits for us to  type back into the Emax to complete the memory 
upgrade. Emu use to have this program running (with an arm twist) up to a couple years 
ago. If it can be had , it will be very helpful making turbo's out of parts boxes... and 
sometimes it even spits out corn hash gravy.  I would sure like a copy of this program for 
future use before it dissapears forever.

Thanks for the info, I have never had Emax2 so that
would explain why perhaps I have never heard of it.
Please forgive the question, was this on something
like DOS or was it a disk for Emax2 similar to the
original Emax SE upgrade disk. Did the Emax2 have some
form of NV parameter RAM? Did Scrambled fuse areas in
a PAL?? just wondering how it worked... [w]

The Emax 2 has an EEPROM chip that presumably stores configuration 
parameters (headroom, SCSI boot ID etc) and hardware authorisation codes. I 
notice it is soldered into the motherboard but it probably wouldn't be too 
hard to desolder it and read out the data. I expect the Emax had a similar 
EEPROM for storing the SE update authorisation etc. 

The Emax 2 memory expansion PALs appear to be preprogrammed and come 
supplied with the memory chips/memory expansion board. I doubt there is any 
circuitry to allow the PALs to be reprogrammed or modified in circuit.

It's important to note this was something actually hardwired into a Mac 
at E-mu and only on one Mac. It required someone who knew how to operate 
the program to generate the code and not many (if any) people at what is 
called E-mu now know anything about this program let alone how to 
operate it. If it had been simply a program to run, one of my contacts 
(back in the day) at E-mu would have let me have it or Rob at Emulator 
Archive would have got a copy. I was told you had to have the actual Mac 
it was running on as well to get it to work. I'm afraid this is one of 
those things like the actual OS code we will never see in order to 
improve or keep the Emax II viable.
