E-MU EMULATOR II+ Work Log

[JMP]

i found mine, a HD+ version, 2 months ago in UK. luck wanted the seller was driving to a vacation spot not far from me, so he dropped it off personally. it has been previously serviced. new display. HD is of course dead, and one floppy too, but it has been replaced with HxC.

I nearly bought that one (!) but found another locally so glad you got hold of this after wanting one for so long.

To the OP, absolutely fantastic job on the EII, so good to see something restored so well. I still have a backlight and some buttons to fix on mine but otherwise working well with 2X FDD's.

Regards HxC and Emuser, have either of you considered an original Sound Designer/Mac setup? I had HxC in a DPX-1 and found it a PITA paging through all the banks, one by one to get to the one I wanted. Pretty sure Emuser loading is lower than Mac/SD too, about 15 secs compared to 12 secs from Mac.

I currently have a Powerbook 170 connected to my EII with about 300MB HD, large enough to store all my favourite banks. Easy to view on the Mac to see what bank I want before loading. Has that 'vintage' cool look too running Sound Designer.

Give us a shout if/when want some interesting sound banks for your machines.

Thanks for your kind words JMP =)
I might try both Emuser and Mac / SoundDesigner, but I dont have space for too much gear.

And sure I'd like some soundbanks

Course, just lmk when sorted.

I'm after some chassis screws for my EII, you been able to source any?

Hi JMP

Yes will use 8-32x 3/8 Stainless.
These will work to fix the steel chassis to the housing.

I know you have your power supply squared away but I wanted to share my latest drop-in replacement. It's a direct replacement for all EII/+/HD. Based around the RT-85C- the analog +13.2V, +12V, and -15V rails are fully post-regulated with trimmer adjustment. It's all mounted on a thick 2mm PCB and is plug and play with the original EII connectors. Anyone interested should start seeing details on the usual sites in the next few weeks.

Are these still available anywhere? I only see the install note PDF on the Abstrakt Instruments site now

I actually ordered one of these, but received nothing and no answer to emails.
