Disable Emax1 HD...?

Disable Emax1 HD...?

2012-01-25 by zoog_angelspit

I'm wanting to disable my Emax1 SE HD's hard drive and only use floppies
The HD is dead. I can not save or load onto BANK00.
Floppies working A-OK

Q: How do i tell the EMAX1 to ignore the HD? Can i just physically remove it?

thank you!

Yes- you can physically remove it.
Most are replacing HD with flash media drive...

You need to use the non-HD version of the operating system.

You don't have to switch the OS, just boot from a floppy disk and the Emax will ignore the HD unless you tell it to look for it.

I highly recommend getting a compact flash drive in there instead of the HD, the benefit of running the emax from the HD or a CF card as HD is that all the processes are much faster than when it has to read the OS from the floppy before every action.
 
Floppy means slooooow.

If you use a HD version of the OS, but don't have a HD, you will get an 
error when trying to save anything, as it looks for the disk then times out.

The SCSI CF route is by far the best. Apart from the speed advantage, 
using a CF card with the EMXP software means you can transfer files to 
and from the sampler, build presets, back up etc.

if yours is hd then a scsi cf drive $50 is way cheaper than a hxc floppy emulator and scsi is fast a few seconds to load a bank $10 for slim floppy and $17 for slim floppy convertor

its a 109 euro,s for the new 3.5 version of the hxc floppy emulator but as of yet it has not been released

Re: [emax] Disable Emax1 HD...?

2012-01-26 by jack

the problems people were having was due to a cupupted version of the se hd os

but there is not that problem any longer due to the fact that i reloaded the working versions to the files section they come under jammie.emma

its an easy process and does not take long todo

there are 2 ways of fitting the cf drives

there the keyboard way and the rack way as the bracket systems are different on both
