Emax

Hello Rich,

MMM, this is a strange one....I received a floppy drive this morning from Stephen 
'Emulator_island'. The floppy came from Stephen's destroyed Emax II keyboard, and I was 
please to discover that this floppy worked in my Emax II rack!!
So, I don't know what's going on, but I'm glad to report the the 2nd replacement floppy is 
now working!!!
Many thanks indeed for your post Rich.

Happy holiday!!!

All the best

Dave
