More Floppy info

2009-03-23 by s*

I read in a few places that a Mac Classic floppy will work in an Emax.  I
got a Mac Classic from a friend of mine last night.  I opened it up only to
find that it uses a different ribbon cable.  Does anyone know if there is a
ribbon cable available out there to convert this to a standard floppy cable
and if so, where they might be available?  Also, can anyone confirm 100%
that a Mac Classic drive will work in an Emax?  As I have mentioned before,
I have tried several PC Floppy Drives, all with ID's set to 0 and my Emax
will not recognise them.  It does however recognise the original drive (but
the original drive seems to only read now, it will no longer save or
format).

Thanks,

-s*

We have the Emax replacment floppy drives available at www.Route66studios.com  a regular drive will not work and by the time you make up/source a converter cable a new 2009 drive is a better choice.

If you already have an old Apple serial cable you can find instructions for rewiring one end of that, for use with your Emax, at the Emulator Archive ( http://www.emulatorarchive.com/Archives/Samplers/EmaxOverview/EmaxEditors/emaxeditors.html )
