Hello Heiko!

i really think you are wrong on the cost of those disc-drives. i am not associated with route66 and i never bought anything there, but let me say the following:

i do not think this richard guy will get rich by selling drives for the E2 - and all of us here  should be thankful that there are still some guys out there who actually put in the time and research information - finding components to make these old samplers work - even today!

also to mention rob @ emulatorarchive

where would we be without rob?

the information and knowlege that is provided to us is the only thing that keeps these emu´s running - so i am happy to pay 75$ or what ever he wants for a replacement drive :-)

big props to you guys!

si

  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)
