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.-TOn Wed, Jan 14, 2015 at 9:09 AM, fairplay_to_you@...

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.

if you have a usb or parallel zip drive or ide in your comp then you can write one of teds emax2 images to the zip disk
first and most you need a formated emax2 disk that has been imaged properly as a emx file which the hxc will use as a imageOn 14 January 2015 at 17:15, Ted Summers djtbs1@... [emax] <emax@yahoogroups.com> wrote:
