Emax

The drive would still stay powered up. The OS pays no mind to where it 
was loaded from as far as telling the difference in hardware. I bleive the 
reason my new Quantum Fireball 500Mb drive turned out to be 
incompatible with the Emax II was because once it spun up for booting 
it would power down and the Emax would have no idea how to get it to 
turn back on.
