Emax

Hello,

I am the proud new owner of an EMax II Turbo.  I've been browsing around the
various on-line resources, but there are some issues I can't seem to pin
down.

1. What formats are directly compatible with the EMax II?  Sure it supports
EMax format, both mono and stereo, up to 8 MB.  Any others?  What is EIIIX?

2. The EMax FAQ suggests that while in theory any SCSI devices should work
for storage, in practice those with slower access times dont work well.
What has been your experience?  I have a Zip 250 I've been hoping I can use.

The Emax II can import and export Emax (SE) banks and that's it. The EIII was the line 
of samplers above the Emax II and are not compatible, though I believe the EIII can 
import in Emax II banks.

The experience with Zip drives and the Emax II vary from unit to unit. Officially no 
Iomega drive is compatible with the Emax II however some people have had absolutely 
no issue hooking up a Zip (classic) to the Emax II. I don't know much about the Zip 250, 
but I do know that it needs to be SCSI assignable without software (computer) 
intervention and it must not have an automatic sleep mode.
