take the plunge and try it thats the only way your going to find out

but just because it works in a mac se 30 does not mean it will work in an emax

take the pcd-50/60b they dont work in akai mpc 60 or the 3000 but do work in the akais3000 but work great in the emaxes

its like the iodata cards dont work in the emu but they work with ensoniqs

the acard 7720u dont work in ensoniqs but work in the emax1 and 2

the acard 7720uw works great in the emax2 but i cant get it to work at all in the emax1 yet the 7720u with same firmware and same device works great but the uw version just get hd errors it will load the os but you cant load any banks

It's too bad it doesn't work, because i use it with my 720kb Akai MPC60 perfectly. Works great with this application, even has internal memory that holds your last work. Couldn't be any easier.

What i would like to try is this:
CF AztecMonster CF-3.5" SCSI Converter Card
  • This card can convert CF memory card or MicroDrive to 3.5inc. desktop SCSI interface HDD, such as Mac SE/30, Quadra, or AKAI sampler.
  • If it works with a MAC SE/30 why wouldn't it work with the EMAX?

    no it does not work

    even in dos based machines it can be a right pain to get working

    there is jumpers for ds1 ds0 there are jumpers for ready and other signals

    there is no support for them when you receive them you get some one else's software
    i have fitted them to k5000r

    yamaha sy85 and sy99


    there a few other yams it works on but apart from that they dont work on most only dos based systems if it uses a pre pc format

    like the special formats that many synths and samplers used you need drivers so that the emulators can do that format

    and why the hxc works as they add the code so specific floppy formats work and are always adding them when people ask about there machines and they buy one and they send jeff the image format and he always tries his best to add it
