Title: FrankenEmax II
Post by: kdk on October 26, 2011, 10:40:52 AM
I just bought an "Emax II" that looks to be a mash-up of two machines. The front panel is labeled as an Emax II, and it displays that it's an Emax II on the LCD screen. The top/back panel are painted grey and it says "Emax" on the back panel. The serial number on the back says it's a Model #1021, with a serial number os "10P687".

It has a SCSI connector on the bottom side of the rear panel, below the MIDI jacks, but on the bottom, black painted part of the rear panel. It's fitted with an IBM WDS-3160, 160MB HD.

The digital board inside says:
E-MU SYSYTEMS, INC
EMAX2 CPU PCB
PC353 REV. B
890428

The analog board says:
E-MU SYSYTEMS, INC.
EMAX2 ANALOG PCB (C) 1988
PC352 REV. A
890427

It looks like the boards were probably from the same EmaxII, but the top cover was swapped from an original Emax.

Anyone have a mismatched cover on their EmaxI that wants to trade?  ;^)
