Re: drives and discs for emulator II

2008-02-20 by Heiko Mehring

Hello Mr./Mrs. unknown,  :-/

at route66 you can get a 3 1/2" disk-drive, but I would say, that they 
are much to expansive. At our "database"-section you can find some 3 
1/5" drives, which are also working with the EII.

You can sometimes find EII-sounddisks on ebay, or at 
www.northstarsamples.com for example. But the best way is, to look for 
an old Mac (working types are also at the database), the datacable (or 
build one by yourself) to connect the EII with the mac and download 
the "Sounddesigner for Emulator II"-software. Then you can download 
the sounds from the "files"-section and have a look for Emulator II 
Sounds in Sounddesigner-format. The mac with the software is also the 
best way to save and load sounds. But you need one working disk for 
booting the Emulator.

And last but not least have a look at here: 
http://www.emulatorarchive.com/Samplers/E2Overview/e2overview.html
There you can find the most informations about the EII. And at this 
forum for sure.  :-) 

Much luck and best regards
Heiko (from germany)
