  Subject: [emax] Heeere's Emax!


    
  ok i finally got one of these bad boys from the toronto kijiji and i just wanted to know if it's possible ever to use a cf card drive with it(it's a model 1000). the board versions are:

  PCU PCB: PC327 Version 2, Revision C

  Analog PCB: PC326 Version 3, Revision C (assembly revision b)

  Panel PCB: PC319 Version 1, Revision E (assembly revision e)

  it doesn't have a working disk drive so i have to get a new one and also there is no lcd screen since he accidentally broke it and then removed it when he replaced all the led lights(i did the research here and know which replacement to get from rs). otherwise it looks mint and i only paid $80!

  looks like replacing the lcd might be tricky since i think i'll have to remove the keys and a few other things to get at it. i noticed some weird red contraptions underneath where the lcd must be soldered and was wondering what they are. looks like some sort of clips or something... maybe i don't have to solder just stick the pins in and fasten the clips?(if in fact that's what they are)

  no more lurking for me! also glad to finally upgrade from my trusty mirage after 20 years of dedicated use, although i will still use it :)

  Thanks! I will buy a kit and floppy converter as soon as i fix the lcd and also will get that flash drive from psi. IC6 is empty and the boot ROM is 24-pin IP349 and IC49 is IP344. Time to start learning how to solder. 

  Just curious, I don't mind booting from disk but can it be set to access the os from the flash for the functions? That's the main reason I want a flash drive so that it doesn't keep accessing the floppy while I'm using it.

  Cheers!

  also from psi will work. Also
  thinking about trying my mirage drive with it since the prev owner used

  I just answered my question thanks to the emulator archive. In the diagnostics manual on page one it says:

  'The bootprom diagnostic tests are invoked each time the emax is powered up....on power up, all led's are lit, as each test is passed, an led is turned off.'

  It then lists the different meanings of each light and for the dynamic allocation light it says the unit will lock up if it is unable to initialize the lcd... Back in the clear! :)

  all of this just to save 40 dollars by not going to scsiforsamplers! the cf drives there are 'currently' $139 but they also sell an mpc 2000xl cf drive for $69 since it the mpc uses ide already. therefore there is no acard 77xx type connection in it and doesn't cost twice as much, but, he offers an upgrade kit if you have an mpc with the cf drive already you can get this kit and it (if i'm guessing correctly) will contain the acard bridge. for some reason i'm thinking this drive will work with emax with the 'kit'. 

  but i'd have to pretend i have an mpc that's the only catch...lol

  do you think the special mcp 2000xl scsi upgrade kit they sell is just an ide to scsi bridge though? it probably costs 70 dollars i'm guessing, bringing the total price back up to the normal cf drive price d'oh!
