Re: [emax] Re: HxC help offering and a SCSI question.

Definitely according to factory not upgradeable PCB.
Though the 4 holes are there- so I don’t know what else (circuit wise) is missing…. unfortunately, there’s no one left (since Creative bought Emu years ago) that can answer why it wouldn’t work.

Id be happy to dump a boat load of HxC HFE files for you.  Although Im not sure how you feel about giving it another go.  Im using SE 4.0 on an early EMAX.   You would just use your CFG file probably.  Update should be easy?  Just format the USB and dump the update file on it and run it on the HXC. Reformat then copy your HFEs with CFG back on it and go.

Ive noticed unusual behavior with the saving of banks though.  It appears to overwrite everything in the HFE file with whatever you have loaded in the memory.   Not sure about this yet. Still experimenting.

Here are pics I took when I had her cracked open.  I will open her up again to do the sliders.  There are  4 extra pins on IC13.  None the other SCSI ICs mentioned in your FAQ are present on the board.  Im hesitant to try if the factory says no go.   Good job on the FAQ btw. Very helpful info.

Question:

I have to make a Mouser order soon does anyone know the specs or part numbers for the proper 10k sliders on the EMAX 1.   EPR has 50k ones they claim do not affect operation and Ill go that route if need be.

Also I got this header.  Clipped off the last two pins and used them on the other side of the screen for support.
