Thread Starter | Is anyone using a USB-Floppy emulator in their Emulator II?
I've been thinking of replacing the lower 5.25" drive in my EII+ with a 3.5" as described here: E2Floppy However, while searching on Ebay I found this: 720kb 2DD Floppy Emulator for Yamaha Clavinova CVP - eBay (item 170595627640 end time Feb-25-11 14:16:02 PST) and was wondering if there was any reason this wouldn't work in place of the 3.5" drive. I know I'd need a 5.25->3.5 bay adaptor but that's easy to find. Has anybody successfully used an off-the-shelf product like this in their EII? I looked on Youtube and saw some custom SD floppy emulators being made that work on an EII, but they are not plug and play and appear to require a Windows PC in order to work. Is there still an active Emulator/EII mailing list somewhere I can search? I know I used to be on one a long time ago but can no longer seem to find it. Thanks. |

You might try contacting Werner Schönenberger. Search the net - he's not too hard to find. He found a USB floppy emulator that works without modification for the Waldorf Wave. It solved the problem of dead floppy drives since the Wave boots off the floppy. Now, I have a tiny USB stick in the adapter instead of a floppy disk+drive. There's also the SCSI4Samplers people that have a CF reader that can be substituted for the floppy drive in MPC 3000's. Basically what I'm saying is that there are products out there; just need to do some google searches looking to match the floppy drive specifications. It's worlds easier if you don't need the 'boot off floppy' capability and it is just a data drive. |

I got a friend who got this working with his EII yesterday. (using the floppy emulator with the SD card memory) he's now got an EII with a flash based drive that holds more sample banks than he knows what to do with! pretty cool.  |

  But mainly referring to the manual, from which I gather that I need a PC to prep the SD cards for the sampler to use it (to create empty floppy images on the SD card for the sampler to use) and since I'm all mac this has just gone sour for me......
