Re: [emax] Poorly Emu EMAX

Well after a two day fight with an old PC just to get access to a floppy drive I had it up and running fairly quickly once I got the system disk made. I swapped out the old floppy drive as it seemed dead and took the PC one that I'd used to write the disk. I needed to solder across some patch points to set it to DS0 and it's a fraction too wide but whatever, it works!

I need to do a full test and calibration, I'll read the service manual...

One thing I notice is the keys are still very sticky and a bit unreliable, I'm guessing cotton wool buds and IPA should clean the membranes?

Thanks for the help T
