Emax

Hi everyone, I just got an Emax II with no floppy nor hard drive and 
I'm getting nuts trying to find a drive for it (floppy first).
If you know anything that may help, please let me know. 
Thank you,
Al.

Hey Niklas
             We do have the drives, infact ours even has a disc guard full 
face, so it there is no gap (hole) in your unit.  If you were looking for a 
part for your synth or sampler, and you were part of a news group (the point 
of which is to share information) and you posted the question, wouldn't it 
make sense if someone or two company's that had the part let you know? Hello, 
this is a forum for sharing information on Emax gear and we don't see sharing 
information as a (bad habit) as you do, we are part of this news group just 
as you are.

Hi,
The current replacement floppy drive for the Emax II is a TEAC FD235HF-A529
which is black. You'll need the TEAC 41mm bezel in black too. The drive is
stocked by a range of TEAC main dealers, but its not easy to find. The bezel
usually has to be ordered directly from TEAC, although some stock still
exist in retail stores. This drive has jumpers that enable the ID of the
drive to be set to 0, unlike most other floppy drives manufactured today.
You can also use obsolete or second hand drives that enable ID selection.

The TEAC drive costs $26 when bought as a pack of 30,
http://www.computers4sure.com/product.asp?productid=5131&affid=934&adid=934
The Bezel is under $3.

Either try a TEAC dealer or Richard at Route 66 Studios. We have stopped
selling most spares (as we don't have the time to do this right now) and we
encourage E-mu owners to source the parts directly (which is cheaper
too).Our web site will be updated to show pictures of fitting various
spares, and details of where spares can be found.

In terms of hard disks, we suggest you look our at Emax II web pages for
complete details of which small SCSI drives will work. Source them either
via ebay or a specialist obsolete drive company. A guy in California sells
Emax II drives loaded with presets, check out his ebay sale...

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1489968180

There are still a number of Emax II CDROM's for sale. We have just bought
the 3 CDROM Max collection from Northstar at www.northstarsamples.com and
they are very good (if pricey).

Hope this helps, and enjoy that Emax II.

Regards
Rob

Yeas, Hello! This is a discussion group which means that we all 
charring different information. Not a discussion group to send out 
commercials.
 It is good to know that route-66 studio have a floppy drive that can 
be use to an Emax. But as I see lots of mails in different e-groups 
that the R-66 studios have a floppy drive I have started to be really 
tired.
