EIIIx Prototype

This one was revealed in 1991.
If you know more about its specifications let us know.

This is what Rob from the Emulator Archive had to say about it:

"The product development guys at E-mu Systems tried to launch an enhanced Emulator III a number of times, before eventually getting the production EIIIX out in 1993 based on the Emax II of 1989. Why the delay? E-mu Systems new management killed the project as they wanted to focus on mass volume Proteus sales, and not the high end sampling market. Lots of good ideas nearly made it into the new Emulator, including hard disk recording, but production EIIIX was too late to be a hit, and the Akai S1100 simply killed it. E-mu Systems bounced back with the E4 once Creative gave them the cash to get some new DSP chips and better SMT technology."

very interesting.  When I had been talking to Rome a while back he had mentioned an EIII prototype that was on display at E-mu's headquarters in california that had hard disk recording.  I'm assuming it was this.
