Re: Emax floppy and sd flash drive

Kurt-

If you don't have SCSI, you won't be able to use any kind of SD or CF  
or anything like that.

Group----

As to the Slim floppy- I haven't had any luck with the MPF820 Slim  
floppy yet. But I do have my emax apart. On the Sony MPF920-1 floppy  
drive you remove the bottom cover, and move JC31 to JC30. This will  
make the standard Floppy work in the emax.  Sony MPF920 is about $8  
at newegg.com

Keeping in mind this is a surface mount device (actually a jumper). I  
have a static safe solder station. Using a regular soldering iron  
could damage the floppy controller IC..... and I have years of  
experience soldering. The $8.95 solder iron bought at radio shack  
may  not do the trick....and may ruin the drive.

Also note that you will have a gap in front of emax (I made a  
bracket....)


YMMV

Regards,
Ted
