Emax

I was speaking to a friend of the keyboard comunity here in Caracas-Venezuela. He used to 
fix the keyboards back in the 80's and early 90's in one of the best keyboard stores in the 
city. This is the kind of person you meet every 6 years and is like an old friend.

I told him about my Emax II and he told me out of the nothing: I have the ram expansion for 
it if you want to :|

After the store closed he kept everything in a storage, he even has the parts for the quick 
drive for the  Roland  S-10 sampler and several Roland keys in case one is broken.

So tomorrow we are gonna dig into his storage to find all the parts I need. 

He told me he gave away an Emax II turbo and fully expanded last year to some DJs in the 
country :s, That is like giving an Emax to Napolean Dynamite's uncle Rico.

Any way... the things we find by just talking.

Lucky You !

Let us know what you have found out there :-)

And.. if you really find those RAM upgrade kits, *please* make a 
floppy disk image of the supplied floppy disk(s) *before* ever using 
this disk in an Emax-II. Because once the Emax-II runs the software 
on the disk, the disk gets invalid.

The reason why having this backup is interesting is because sometimes 
people find Emax-II spare parts like memory boards, but they don't 
have the software to activate this memory upgrade, or the supplied 
disk has already been used...

If I remember well you are using Mac, but we would really appreciate 
it if you could find someone who is willing to create such a backup 
file with the OmniFlop tool (and driver) on a Windows XP/Vista PC 
with an internal floppy drive, and post these files to the group. 

Thanks in advance and have fun in the storage room.

We were not able to meet yesterday because we had a riot (thanx to Hugo Chavez) but I 
am on it. I will let you know.
