Hard Drive for Emax HD

Hard Drive for Emax HD

2012-08-25 by Dean Honer

Hi
I'm a new member of the forum.
I have just bought a nice Emax HD keyboard. It came with no floppies. The
hard drive is incredibly noisy and only works intermittently. Are there any
replacement hard drives available for the Emax? When working the software
and sound banks load up just fine.

Thanks

Get a flash drive like a PCD-50b from mechware.
Note only the PC-Card slot works in the drive with the Emax....

Then you can ditch the noise and easily change the media
And use EMXP to build up some images.

If you want it internal you can get a  slim floppy drive.

See my site for examples

OK So the PCD-50b is installed in place of the floppy drive and I simply disconnect or remove the Hard Drive internally? 

The PCD50b is SCSI, are there SCSI connectors inside the EMAX HD or will it need modifying?

Thanks

Re: [emax] Re: Hard Drive for Emax HD

yes if its a hd it has an internal 50 pin scsi copnnector and a 26 pin idc connectorfor adding a 25db scsi cable but you need to punch a hole for the 25db socket

if you fit the pcd-50b you will need a slim floppy drive and convertor 

for every thing to work properly other wise you have to do some jumper wires to disable floppy drive so that it can boot from just a hd
