Emax

Hi Jarremix
 
I also got the interest of Emax's because of DM.
 
It seems like you have had some bad luck buying this Emax II which apparently have been used for other things than music production (toys and stuff inside). Have you bought it from an auction like Ebay?
 
The floppy drive on the Emax is allways lit no matter if the drive is used or not. It's function must be a kind of power indicator and not to tell that the drive is busy.
 
If your floppy discs are not Emax II you cannot boot her up. Emax I discs will not boot her. Neither will you be able to boot her up using a cd-rom. You need a Emax II floppy disc or a harddrive with the Emax II software on it.
 
Try also to upen her up and check that all connectors (also check the connectors to the floppydrive) are in place by pushing them into the sockets. Do the same with all the chips - gently.
 
I got an Emax II from an auction that wouldn't boot up. After I dissasembled her (took out all of the boards cleaning it) and pushing all connectors and chips into the sockets she got okay.
 
Does all the lights for the submodules light up as well?
 
Let's know how it goes for you.
 
Best regards

Ok looking for help on here...

I received a EMAX II in pretty bad condition, I have wanted one 
scince I saw Depeche Mode using them. I opened and cleaned unit. 
Took out plastic toy in unit.

Anyway heres the problem. I put one of my Emax Disks in and it tells 
me not Emax II disk. the LCD is off center on unit. The power unit 
on the floppy drive stays lit. I hooked a CD300 to it set SCSI to 6 
but beause it wont read disk nothing boots. It seems without going 
reading the floppy I have a beautifully cleaned (3 hours) Emax II 
that i can only look at.

New foppy drive, internal drive external SCSI drive. 

I swaped the drive from my Emax and no response on that. Same 
problems. I am open to any or all suggestions.

What do I have to do to get unit to boot/ work make a simple sound? 
or should I lay it to rest and seek another Unit. 

Thanks

Fergal
