Emax

If you are indeed refering to an Emax and not an Emax II the only drive you can replace 
an existing drive with that would be bootable is the 20Mb Miniscribe 8425S (or 8425SA) 
both are long out-of-print. If your unit is not already an HD model there is no way to 
upgrade it to accept a hard drive. Route 66 studios are suppose to be at work on a new 
SCSI chip to upgrade non-hd models.

Your best solution if you have an Emax HD model is to follow the instructions at the 
Emulator Archive http://www.emulatorarchive.com on converting your internal SCSI port 
into an external, upgrading to the Plus OS, and then you could use a Zip drive!

If you are referring to an Emax II, I have a list of some hard drives in my FAQ 
http://www.silveriafamily.com/emax and I believe the Emulator Archive does as well. You 
are limited to a partition of 540 Mb. Conner hard drives seem to be the most widely 
compatible, what you need to make sure of is that it is SCSI type 1 compatible and 
doesn't have any modern features like spinning down, powering down, stand-by or 
anything like that. I've had personal issues with both Maxtor and Quantum drives in the 
past, I currently have a 250Mb Maxtor drive inside mine and though it's noisy it works.
