Cheers for the reply. I think i am going to start myself then, as i already have some of the parts. Thanks a lot for the detailed manual by the way! I'll report on my progress.

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.
