Emax

BTW: I have added some compatible Emax-II SCSI cdrom drives to the "Flash Memory and Accessories/Other Drives" database in the group's database section.
I'm using all of these with my Emax-IIs:
- Teac CD-532S
- Pioneer DR-U12X
- Apple CD300 (basic version)
- Plextor PlexWriter 12/4/32 PX-W124TSe
 
Besides these, there are of course also the Iomega ZIP 100 and 250 alternatives, and the SCM PCD-50B PCMCIA card reader, and probably other devices too...
