Emax

That statement comes directly from the Factory update directions.
I’ve never seen a REV1 board myself.

You’re positive it’s a REV1?

 On Rev 2 boards, there are holes to put in a 28-pin socket for the boot EPROM (IC13).
The original non-scsi boot EPROM on REV2 boards is a 2732 24-pin EPROM.
The SCSI capable boot EPROM is a 2764 28-pin EPROM as the firmware was too large for the 2732.

I believe a REV1 doesn’t have the holes and circuit connections for the additional four pins of the larger EPROM.

Likely they made those boards before realizing they couldn’t add the additional firmware for SCSI into the 2732.

When doing the SCSI upgrade a 28-pin socket to replace the 24-pin (which gets removed as a step in the upgrade) is included with the kit.

Does anyone need specific detailed instructions to get the HxC working?  I got mine today and got it functional with libraries.  Im not 100% sold on the device yet because some of my library seems screwy like fluttering audio.  However, my own samples created with mic input are smooth and save and can be recalled properly.  

Loading banks takes 10-25 seconds. Thats a long time to wait to hear something you probably wont even use.  Too bad I have a REV1 board.  I think the route Im leaning towards is the following:

 - Bounce everything EMU related to WAV  (26 gigs worth)
 - Use a program with AutoDemo so the sample plays when scrolled over (audition cs6 or ableton)
 - Resample with EMAX the sounds I actually want to build a preset with.

The name of the game in my mind is finding what you want quickly then using Mr. EMAX for character and flavor fun.


Also. it's not necessary to copy OS for every EM1.  You place your OS in the folder with ALL your EM1s then use the "BATCH CONVERTER" function on the HxCFloppyEmulator software. 

When you load your SD into EMAX each HFE file is a floppy.  At least thats what EMAX thinks they are.  I found myself clearing the memory over and over searching for sound.


My question about SCSI:

I have a Board 1 Rev A early 85 EMAX.  It states on the FAQ impossible to upgrade.  But the board has the socket for the SCSI controller and the pins for the ribbon.  Can you not solder in the proper SCSI compatible ICs?  Im just curious why technically you cant upgrade the early ones.  And why did they include a socket and pins?
