Emax

My Emax II keyboard also seems to be a custom job on the internal HD install. 
 It's held in place with thin metal strips with holes in them, with tape and 
cardboard for shock protection.  This drive is pretty old though, and my 
external SCSI Zip blows it away, so that's what I normally use.  Plus the HD 
is louder...
