Emax

I had a hard drive added to my keyboard after I bought it and it looks like
the guy who fitted it used a custom metal plate with the holes drilled in
the right places. It certainly wasn't brass and it wasn't there before (and
I bought my Emax from new).

But, after a while I tried replacing it with a plastic one to try and reduce
the earth loop hum I had been getting. I used a 5mm thick sheet of plastic
card which you can get at most model shops and cut / made the holes with a
regular craft knife. It cost pennies, took less than ten minutes to make and
it got rid of the hum too!
