Re: [emax] A couple of zip-drive related questions

Sounds great. It's an external unit right? If so, I'd like to reserve one too.

Thanks,

Daniel


  Just SCSI enabled Emax. If you don't have SCSI on an Emax 1, you would 
  need to buy a SCSI kit from me.

  Hi,

  A little of a side note. I just won a lot of 10 used CF drives on ebay.
  Assuming they work with Emax, I will be selling them for much less than
  $200.
  They may be single slot use only, but they are SCSI.
  I will be testing them in Emax once I get them and will give more 
  details
  later.
  If they are single slot, I will sell them for $25. If multiple slots 
  work I
  will sell them for $40.

  I will be keeping 1 for sure, but will resell the other 9 once confirmed
  they work in Emax.

  So, if they work (crossed fingers), those of you wanting to buy SCSI 
  kits
  but who have been hesitant due to, where do I get a drive?
  Next couple of weeks or so you may be lucky!

  If people have been thinking of purchasing other drives, you may wish to
  wait a week or two....

  again I will keep you posted.

  PS- I saw a multiple slot multitech for $60 buy it now on ebay. Somebody
  should nab it..... I considered it.

  Ted
