Dan

that is an old macintosh hard drive intended to sit under the computer. It's 
100 meg scci
I think i got that off Ebay for like $15 or $20.
It originally worked with my prior Emax II without trouble but for this 
current Emax II
im having trouble using it. It kept on not reconizing the drive and I had to 
keep switching the SCCI number to get it to read.
Now I can't get it to find that drive at all, no matter what I switch the 
number to.

I want to try an internal drive again like the maxtor 540s.
The parts dealers seem to have found out that people want these drives for 
specific reasons
and are asking alot of money for them now though.
I checked into the connor drive listed and so far ive found it offered for 
$100

I have copied a snid bit from one of the group owners webpages listing 
compatible hard drives
if youre interested in looking at it
it's in this folder

Thanks very much Matt.  Now I need to replace my floppy drive and find a system disk to get my emax II up and running.  If you have access to a system floppy, let me know.

Dan

Thanks very much Matt.  Now I need to replace my floppy drive and find a 
system disk to get my emax II up and running.  If you have access to a 
system floppy, let me know.

I got mine from http://www.route66studios.com/

I bought mine from them and got the screws from the hardware store to mount 
it. Mine were missing because the previous owner
didnt replace them when he took the dead drive out.
Took me a couple of tries to get the cable put on both connecters in the 
right position but it does indeed work and im happy with it.
   there is a user here that provides system disks i believe here for a 
small fee to cover shipping? i dont have them bookmarked though
emulator archive i think?
can another reader here provide that info? any sound disk is a system disk 
right?

if its just any sound disk and you cant get one i'll help you out
message me off list when you get the drive replaced if thats the case
