Emax

(sorry if this double or triple posts, my posting doesn't seem to 
be working...)

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?
