You can use any drive, just set the drive select to 0.
 Either with a jumper or by finding the surface mount
piece on the the pcb of the floppy, desolder it, and
resolder it to DS0.  

Mine (Teac) looked like this

DS0
o
|
|
0-----o DS1
X

If the drive is set to DS1, then the piece bridges DS1
and X, remove it and bridge DS0 and X.

Good luck.  I know this works, because I've done it
before a few times.

If you don't find a floppy as described from my pre-posters, you can 
also buy an ATARI ST 1040. That drive should also work with the emax!
