Emax

Hi,
1) Do you have an Emax II diskette, or does "Emax Disks" mean Emax I? You'll
never boot an Emax II from an Emax I diskette - wrong OS.
2) Check the orientation of the floppy drive cable - e.g. where the red
stripe is. It should be on Pin 1 on the board and drive. Wrong way round and
the LED comes on all the time....
3) A new LCD won't be aligned any better - it plus into the same sockets -
try and realign the old one.

  Subject: [emax] Emax II problems booting disk


  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
