RE: [emax] (Fwd) a strange problem, or maybe not so strange

Hi,
Sounds like the hard disk has bad sectors, try scanning the hard disk with
SPECIAL 8 to see if there are any disk errors. If there are errors try
reformatting. Diagnostics is entered from SPECIAL, one number higher than
the highest option number shown. Also check the SCSI internal cable is
properly attached and the drive is correctly configured (termination on).
Make sure you copy the OS to the hard disk using an option in MASTER, that
way it will boot from hard disk.

If all this fails - return the hard disk as faulty and get a new (refurb)
one. Better still use an external ZIP100 SCSI. You have the right hardware,
you just need an external SCSI connection and the OS Plus software. See
www.emulatorarchive.com for details.

First, let me say THANK YOU SO MUCH for your site.  I am sure
you are helping lots of us dinosaurs with our gear.

I have an EMAX HD SE synth and it is having some problems.
I'm about ready to send this thing to a repair shop, though,
and I am wondering if you have some time and the inclination,
you might share whether you have experienced the same problem.
(also if you know of any repair shops in the Western US, the
info would be greatly appreciated!)

[Rob EmuArc] etc....
