Emax

its cheaper than replacing with a new floppy drive which are almost just as expensive

and tyes 20 of them is as expensive as a second hand car but matenance alone on a car is just as expensive as buying the damn thing 

and insurance nealerly as dear as the car costs now days

and it all depends on how much you like your gear and how long yopur planning on using it

thats why if i have scsi on my machines i use cf hotswap card drives 

and why i always fit a slimfloppy cf card combo drive system to emaxes as it brings them to the 21st century and gives many more years use

   i would not call 100 quid cheap, for a solution to only 1 unit, 





  you have 20+ samplers replacing all 20 with a hxc will cost you the same price as a second hand car.

  it depends on which breaks down first the emax or the pcd

  the slim floppy are ok cheap and floppy disks are still being made

  but if you want a good working known floppy emulator then the hxc is the cheapest to get thats garanteed to work

      Silly Now that I have a PCD yes..but it's not guaranteed to work forever and there may come a day when we all need to replace it with something that does work for the long haul so better to experiment now and be prepared for the inevitable (PCD's NLA)

        they are the china made floppy emulators they buy them from china at £10 a pop then charge £200+ for them 

        and they dont work with the emaxes so dont bother and why would you want a floppy emulator when you have scsi it just seems silly

          Has anyone tried to use one of these to replace their floppy drive?
