Emax

Okay, my Emax has developed a really, really weird problem:

If I try and load a disk that I format, the Emax flashes "Different Software
Rev" -- even though it's not!  It'll load the official Emu disks that I have
just fine, it formats the disk just fine, it copies software, etc.... but
when I actually try and use the disk, I get the different rev error.

It'll boot normally off the official Emu disk.. if I try and boot off a disk
that I made, it hangs at "E-mu Systems Inc. Loading Software."  It also
emits some really weird stuff - like rising then descending tones, amazing
sounding drones (they're good enough to sample, funny huh?), weird wobblies.

I don't get it.  I've done everything at my disposal... changed disks, used
different OSes (I have 3.2 and SE 1.1 on disk -- yes, I'm sure that I was
using the right disk with the right OS and all that).  I swapped drives with
an inoperable Emax that I have for parts, same thing.

This is really weird, it's been working fine up until now.  Can someone help
me out?
