Hi, 
somebody updated about what kind of Harddisk can I put inside of eII? There is just one option for HD ? Or more models of Hd's? Can somebody please make a list of HD models that are certainly working into EII? Thanks anticipated.
Regs, Mike.

            I'm still in the process of optimizing the communication link between 

the PC and the EII; the test programs I have are 100% reliable but 

too slow at this moment.



Anyway: if I succeed in making all of this acceptable - which I'm NOT 

sure about - it will certainly also run under Windows XP. It should 

also work on a Mac running Windows via Bootcamp because the USB 

drivers for external RS422 ports should work as soon as the Mac's USB 

ports are recognized by Windows.



In the first phase I will not create software for editing sounds on 

the EII - so EMXP will be limited to uploading and unloading banks. 

I will however (as a second project) also reverse engineer the whole 

editing stuff and investigate whether a kind of VST plugin for the 

Emulator is possible (ok, maybe I'm dreaming now... this would not be 

part of EMXP but become a separate piece of software).
