Title: RS422 feature in EMXP has been released.
Post by: esynthesist on May 01, 2010, 09:55:23 AM
The RS422 support has been released in the newest version of EMXP today.
You can download this version (for free of course) on http://www.emxp.net

As announced a while ago, this version allows serial communication between EMXP on Windows XP (or higher) and the Emax-I or Emulator II.
Sound banks can now be uploaded and downloaded without having to use a vintage Mac computer anymore...

...you will need a custom built USB-RS422 adapter though :)
Details how to build this adapter yourself can be found on http://www.emxp.net also. The thing is called EMUCOMBOX - OK, I admit this name is the result of a weak moment of low creativity.

Anyway, I'd like to give credits to and thank MrJulian (fellow member on the Yahoo Emax Group) a lot for making this possible by sending me a jumpstart prototype last year. A new world went open for Emu Emax/EII fans.

Note: in the future a smaller and easier-to-build version of the adapter may be released, based on another microprocessor board.
The current one is working fine, but be aware that some of the soldering will be quite tricky !

Have fun

Is anyone building these?  I would gladly pay someone to build one for me if the price was not too rediculous.
