Re: [emulatorII-list] Possible Idea - Emulator I disk drive hack

Mike,

Same here in regards to the E1, love that beast of a sampler.  I've got spare 400L drives if you need something to experiment with:)

Regards,
G

            I've been thinking about hacking the emulator disk drive, and seeing 

if it can be replaced by a flash drive. (Still keeping the original 

drive)



Possibly with a small LCD screen to name patches & and encoder & 

buttons to scroll through them all etc. A switch would change between 

the original drive & the flash drive.



This way, I could slowly take images of my disks, and archive them on 

the emulator for recall, possible with faster load & save time.. and 

not have to worry about floppy disks for this old and lovely sampler.



This could also mean that all us Emu1 users could download patches 

etc very easily.



This might take a long time to investigate & implement.. If I did 

this.. who out there would be interested in doing this to their 

Emulator I ? (Not the Emu-II)

How much would you be prepared to pay? Less than $300? It would be a 

kit that should be easy to install.



I honestly get so much joy out of playing the Emulator I, and I've 

replaced the drive on mine.. but am worried about the long term 

survival of it.



Regards



Mike
