Re: [emax] Sample Editors on MAC SE Compatible Floppies?

2009-07-10 by Ted Summers

Do you have the IOMEGA extensions loaded on the Mac SE?

The Mac SE should be able to run 7.5.5 or 7.6.1 and therefore there is  
a Iomega driver for that version MacOS.

I would format the Zip on the MAC SE then take it over to the newer  
computer...



If you find you don't have Iomega, I can post to a fileshare site and  
you can get it.....

Regards,
Ted

Ok I'm almost there gang, I got my Emax2 an internal hard drive  
(secured with heavy duty velcro until I get a hold of or have  
fabricated the proper metal mounting plate. I was so engrossed I was  
up till 2am last night loading floppy banks, and then sampling and  
creating new banks from my sound library. WOW what you can do with MPC  
hip hop samples, or any drum samples for that matter with this thing!

Anyway, I have a working Mac SE 30, running system 7.0 with 4mb ram  
and a 20MB Hard Drive. I have, in the box with all the paperwork in  
mint condition Sound Designer Universal. However, as most of you know,  
it doesn't work well with EMAX 2, it says it works with SP1200's which  
I don't own. So, I downloaded Alchemy and earlier Sound Designer .sit  
files, burned them to a CD, took them to my old G3 with a zip drive,  
copied them to that, put that zip disk in my SCSI Zip drive hooked to  
the MAC SE, and it will not mount. It sees something on the SCSI Buss  
per the SCSI director control panel, but will not mount the Zip disk.  
OK getting anxious here. The only way I can relatively easily and  
painlessly get those application onto the SE is by way of floppies.  
Can ANYONE give me a hand and copy those applications to floppies with  
a mac and send them to me to load up and run? I'll pay any and all  
expenses related to this H U G E favor.

I've come SOOOO close to having the dream system I craved back in 1990  
and just need to get those applications loaded and running to be  
living my post high school Emax/Mac system dreams! I'm even thinking  
of painting my SE's case black to match the Emax, and building a  
custom keyboard stand from an Ultimate Apex stand to hold them  
together in the most fashionable way possible.

Anyway let me know if ANYONE can lend sneaker, or snail mail floppy  
rescue and assistance my way.

Thanks all, happy max'in!
