Emax

Hi,
1) PC floppy drives need a modification to give them an ID of zero. This is
usually quite hard to do, as jumpers are obsolete and modern drives use
surface mount components. Best get one from www.route66studios.com, unless
you are handy with a soldering iron.
2) Emax SE HD models do work with ZIP100's, and an external SCSI connection
is easy to add with some hole drilling. You'll need OS Plus. Emax HD's
(non-SE) might be a problem, as the OS Plus version seems to want SE
pre-installed....ZIP250's do NOT work.
3) Other Emax's can be upgraded with SCSI but usually its very hard. Some
later Emax's had all the HD electronics but were not fitted with drives.
4) I was planning to offer SCSI upgrade kits for 50% of Emax owners, but at
150+ US dollars its unlikely to be a seller! Plans have been frozen.
5) The Emax PSU is best not loaded with a ZIP internal drive,  unless you
are replacing an internal hard disk.

  On an original Emax you can do a SCSI MOD (taking that you already have a
SCSI
  capable Emax) and use an external Zip drive. You don't already have an HD
version you
  can't upgrade it to work with SCSI. An internal Zip drive would burn out
the power supply
  if I remember right. I think Rob has a list of the floppy drives that can
be used as
  replacements at http://www.emulatorarchive.com
