Emax

Im am seriously considering taking a maxtor or other hard drive
that would normally be mounted on the inside of the EMAX and
enclosing it in a case with a power supply and some sort of conversion
to make the pin setup work with the external scci connection.
   I dont know how practical it is to do this, but the reason I want to do it
is because I moved my emaxII that has a maxtor 540s installed inside
with maybe 150 meg of the 500 filled with samples and it must have got 
bumped or something because all of the banks disappeard and I had to reformat it, because
the sampler wouldnt reconize it.
  I also have an old apple 100 meg external hard drive that made the trip
fine.
     I have another maxtor 540 drive that I have been using as a paper weight on
my desk That I could use as a model to make the enclosure and then buy another
drive at the end of the project,   I of course wouldnt be opposed to finding a 500 meg
external hard drive if I knew were I could get one that would work and wasnt alot of dough.

      Im going to talk to a computer store and see how much for a supply
to power the drive and see if the cables can be done...

As I said Im sure no one ever does it this way because of the work involved and maybe the price?

Any advice is always welcome..
