Hi, If you have an EII+HD with a hard drive that doesn't work, here is the way to sort it out. Buy a refurbished Miniscribe 8425 MFM drive from CCD Drives at http://www.ccsdrives.com/. It will cost around US 75 - 100 dollars. It is an exact replacement. Ensure you have a copy of OS 3.1 HD on floppy diskette (we can send you one for free). Then make a note of the error list on the side of the new drive, its on a piece of paper attached to the drive. Install the new hard drive and boot up OS 3.1 HD from floppy. Using SPECIAL 19 enter the new error list and save to floppy. Then format the hard disk with SPECIAL 22. A few minutes later you will have a new working hard drive ready for loading with all your cool samples. Unfortuantely if you don't have a hard drive already installed there is no way you can retrofit one. The Adaptec interface is still about but the E-mu SCSI interface is obsolete - although recreatable. Happy Emulating! Rob
