Title: Oh the anticipation for my new EII!!! Post by: xxxdavidmaysxxx on February 12, 2011, 11:00:36 PM Well after 4 months of exhausted search I have found an EII!!!! It works, but currently needs a little work, but it comes with about 200 disks!!!! (I'm guessing you sorta expect that anyway) Man, and the guy is actually driving it to me! Dayum, I'm happy I waited. An by-golly I got a deal! It has a Mac interface cable, 200 disks (he was honest and said that most of them worked, about 70% lol) for 500. I'll post pics and such of it whenever its dropped off tomorrow (or actually today, its past midnight.) It's about time too, my Mirage has been killing my soul with its poor interface and programing. :p And man one was hard to find. I believe from december only one was on ebay....

(http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac145/xxxdavidmaysxxx/IMG_0022.jpg) Well if you read in the technical section. You'll know that this one will not boot at the moment. But it worked when I received it. The only issue was that the keys were sticky and some would not work. Sooo I opened her up and lo and behold many just popped out! So the stickyness fixed, there are still a few broken. Namely a C/F Key and the end C key. So those will be fun to find :p. It was also randomly missing a midi port (WTF!?!) BUT I found the exact one on ebay, 6 of them for 5 dollars plus free shipping! Theres quite alot of restoring to do but I'm hoping that I can get it in tip top shape! :) Also, I'm thinking this is an EII that was upgraded into an EII+. Any thoughts on that? It has a Memory Option board inside of it and the manual is for an EII+. Also what color is it!?! Seriously I thought it was blue all around then gray then blue again when in flouresant light.... I'm confused. So anyway heres the acessories that came with it: (http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac145/xxxdavidmaysxxx/IMG_0020.jpg) Theres about 200 disks. An orig. owners manual. A sustain footswitch (Common, yes but I diddn't have one and this one is nice and made out of metal!), a Mac interface cable, and a random E-Mu expression pedal... Never seen this one before. Its made like a freaking rock, I stubbed my toe on it and about died in pain! (http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac145/xxxdavidmaysxxx/IMG_0021.jpg) (http://i894.photobucket.com/albums/ac145/xxxdavidmaysxxx/IMG_0019.jpg) So anyway thats it :), I'm extremely happy with my purchase, even if it doesn't work atm. Its a peice of art! Bot aesthetically and electronically. I mean, it is damn sexy! Title: Re: Oh the anticipation for my new EII!!!

The manual looks like the one you can download from Emulatorarchive's Rob in *.PDF format. Concerning the memory board: Could it be that you mean the 'piggyback' - board? If so - this would be no Ram Extension, but the normal Ram board of earlier EIIs. If your thing worked, you could easily check if it's been upgraded to "+". |
