Emax

It doesnt seem too bad running the OS from floppy sofar at least (I wouldnt want to load banks from floppie though)
I dont know how to put the OS on HD yet either.

The noise seems pretty dang loud to me ..

( this gives me a funny idea of gas/deisel motor powered music equipment {that you have to start up with a pull-cord like a lawnmower} )  

yes, will look into a different drive.
Is there a list of all drives that work with Emax SCSI and internal ?  I couldnt find anything on the Emax pages my last look (or in the manual)
