Hi-
I am a working musician / vintage synth collector. I have an Emax II with a dead floppy. Originally it had some banks on the internal SCSI HD, but I inadvertantly erased them. I also own an early Emulator II, for which I bought the HxC floppy emulator SD card type. So, I have this Emax II and I have tried every combination of files, images, config files, etc. with the HxC floppy emulator and the closest I get is "please insert disc" or "this is not an Emax disk" errors. So, one question is : Has anyone on the list successfully used the HxC SD with an Emax II os ver 2.14?
Second question ; It does have SCSI, and I have an Iomega Zip 100 with some discs (not emax just blank zip disks). Can I do anything with that to load/store sound banks?
I have every factory CD rom of samples from Emax for their rack samplers (ESi i think?) with a SCSI CD Rom but the CD Rom drive is permanently set to ID #4 and the Emax II can't see it.
Thanks so much for any help.
John

Emax 2 will scan the SCSI bus, so if it can't see the drive, it's likely not compatible.
As to the Zip drive- you can use EMXP (assuming you have a PC) to create an HD image or search the archives for Andre's address and get added to the "box". there are bootable HD images there which can be downloaded and put onto a zip disk with EMXP.
HxC can be used with EMAX II. the vendor is here on the group, or contact him through his support.
He can probably give some guidance for usage / implementation.
