Emax

I also have no problems with the expenditures to run this equipment
To me, I will spend up to 500$ to get any of my Emax functional
Again If it breaks or goes down for the count. So far I've been
Lucky with mine but there could come a day where I will need to
Source spares and the technical expertise of guys like Ted to keep
Mine running
And NO, I have none of the DM sample disks. nor do I own my Emax's
To mimic or Sound like them.  I own them cause they were made in my home
State, California just like my Dave Smith Instruments and Oberheim OB-8 and
DMX were.

I am aware with the various investments of vintage sample ownership and I'm okay with that.  It seems that not everyone is at peace with the expenditures needed to run equipment from this era.

You seem to have faulty assumptions about supply and demand on legacy storage drives, and you seemed baffled by the availability, pricing, and compatibility of Emu storage options, so I did my best to explain it to you.  Sorry if my corrections offended you, that wasn't my intent.
