I am a new Emax owner!!! I need memory advice.

I am a new Emax owner!!! I need memory advice.

2008-03-31 by Rei

Hi.

I bought an Emax II. The guy who has it didn't know how much ram it actually had and we did 
the ram test. His sampler is giving me 2.817.064 samples. Does that mean it has the 
expansion board instaled and 5MB of ram? 

If that is correct:

1. Where can I find more ram?
2. Where can I get the internal hard drive with the instalation kit.

Thank you!!!

Hi there

That sounds to be about right for the ram. 
I have 8mb and I get 4,194,268 samples available.

Not sure where you'd find the Z ram now, it was incredibly expensive
when the Emax was current. Might be easier to cannibalise another machine

As for the internal drive, which I believe is only good for 540mb or thereabouts,
why not consider a removeable Zip (100/250mb) or Jazz 1gb scsi ?

Hi

I got one with external drive but I want to have it complete more as a curiosity item rather 
than a workhorse. I am even looking for an Atari ST computer fully expanded. 

I may use it live but specially because is an Emax sampler and is a curiosity for the legacy. 
The rest of the show will be running from a 17" Mac Book Pro with Logic... but that is not 
fun. 

Thanx.
