Re: Emuser Parts List

2012-07-07 by esynthesist

Well... I'm coping with a major lack of time too.
Maybe when I have a few weeks off (holiday), I can spend a few days to build another small batch of EmuSers. 
But I haven't even planned any holidays yet ;) 
My job and the ongoing development of a huge maintenance release of EMXP are almost killing me.

Transferring banks through RS422 takes between 30 and 40 seconds; SCSI is much faster. Moreover, if you are using an Emax-II, the banks can only be transferred from PC to Emax-II through RS422 (not the other way around) and the bank should be a 512K compressed bank (so not e.g. a 16 bit 2MB bank). Both restrictions are imposed by the Emax-II operating system, not by the EmuSer or EMXP.
