Emax

I have been scouring the Internet today looking for lists of compatible emax
drives.  I am hoping to head to an electronics surplus store here in Toronto
after work.  I see that these models are compatible:

Mitsubishi Full Height 3.5" MF353B - 12 UJ or MF353BA - 12U
And some early NEC's
The drive that is currently in my Emax II was originally pulled from a
friend's EIII Keyboard (He killed my floppy a long time ago) and it is a
Sony.

Does the TEAC FD235HF-A529 work in the Emax II as well?

I read that a floppy drive from a Mac Classic might work so, I tried taking
apart a friend's dead Mac SE to use it's floppy drive, only to find that
it's not the same type of ribbon cable.

I would try route66 but, my friend ordered a drive for his Emulator II from
there and has never been able to get it to work and they stopped offering
him support apparently so, I want to avoid any hassle like that if
possible.

Any suggestions on what floppies will work is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

We do sell a replacement for the Ell and it does work 100% with all dual drive Ell units, It however does not work in the upper bay as a one drive setup nor does it work with any HD models. If your friend is still having problems with his Ell and his setup is indeed a dual drive model we would not stop offering support, that's just not anything we would do for any reason.

as mentioned before in this group, any floppy will work so long as you can
set the ID to 0.

I bet the A529 will work. It works on the SP1200.

I will take 6 months to get the drive from you Rich.  Forget it.  Me and plenty of others have been down that road a few.  Pass!!

take a look at the samsung sfd321b
you can change the ready signal and drive select and other things.
it has solder pads you just need to desolder and re solder.
I got one working for an akai s950 which is possibly the worst
to find a compatible drive.

Posts like this always make me laugh, 98% of all our issues are with overseas orders and about 90% of them are because the buyer doesn't know how to put his correct address in Pay pal.  The other 10% are people who don't want to pay their duty tax, so no wonder we can't ship you a drive quickly. You overseas customers start getting it right and we can get a drive to you in 5 days, otherwise leave your order in customs for 3 weeks until they return it...then in 30 days Email us back and ask where your order is.

We have never stopped offering support to our customers, and it's always that one guy who states a friend of his had an issue with something. How would we block a customer from asking for help in the first place? it's not like were Native Instruments and require customers to register with us!...OMG...LOL...there's like 4 ways contact us as well. 

If your friend couldn't get his drive working with his Ell (off topic) why didn't he just return it? we have a 30 day warranty policy. I don't think we have EVER had an Ell, Elll or Emax drive INSTALL problem, how hard is it to install? all you need is a screwdriver. Maybe the mystery issue was with HIS Ell and not the drive? ya think?...whatever. I said it once I will say it again, have your FRIEND contact us and we will do whatever we can to solve his problem, but don't bash us it's childish.
