That s becoming a rare collection! Strange that you can connect the 442 to the soundaccelerator because they have very different connectors. SA uses the

i thought that Emulator II was right in the sampler drop down menu. you often have to facilitate a handshake with the sampler so they can trade info. NEW

Yes that would be awesome if you could upload it. I actually have a IIsi running 7.1 with a sound accelerator card and a 442 interface. I also have a IIci and

Hello, new to the group. I own an Akai s612 sampler early 12bit lo-fi that sounds sweet to my ears. After reading an early Ensoniq Transoniq zine from 1986, I

Thanks for the extra info Chris. I knew what you meant about the disk drive power supply - mine is fed off the 13.2V rail. There doesn t appear to be a

Kevin, Re the 12V rail, I think I will change my statement to some EII s did not use the power supply 12v rail, but instead connected the disk drive +12V to

That Zenith PSU is interesting, I haven t seen any other SMPS which allow you to adjust anything other than the main (i.e. 5V) output. Unfortunately it appears

Note that I went with the Zenith ZPS 150a in Darren s EII as it has adjustable outputs. The +15v rail is in fact +13.2V on the EII, and this was the only way

Here is the one I have installed. It s a Zenith ZPS 150a. Not quite as compact as that Meanwell but it does the trick.

An update, rather later than planned. Over the last month or so I have been trying (and failing) to get the EII to boot. After connecting it to my HxC I was

My E-II neither has a piggyback expansion nor it has connectors for it on the digital board (they were not soldered there initially). Also, two of the 4 lines

Thanks ! From close up picture I see of the E-II, they all have aluminium caps in that place. Couldn t figure out from the images if they were polar or not. I

Gil, On mine, both C66 and C67 were actually two caps: two 10uF 25v tants, with their negative leads soldered together and their positive leads soldered to

Having fixed the PSU and the short on the output board, I was rather hoping to have a working EII. Unfortunately this was a somewhat optimistic assumption! On

On mine, they are not even aluminium electrolytics. each is a pair of tantalums wired in series. I can t tell you if sampling works as at the moment my EII

I now have a working power supply - and some of the rectifier diodes were indeed past their best. I replaced Q103, all of the capacitors and power resistors

I have it installed in the top drive bay of an EII with a switch that allows me to select between the two drives. The HxC is simple, convenient, and powerful.
