Emax

Just one question. Did you use the copy software option and copy the OS to the Zip? If not you might try that. The OS must be on the boot disk and you'll have to copy it from a floppy. After you copy software see if it will boot. Also the Zip drive formats  completely in seconds from my experience. Hope this helps.

  Subject: [emax] Emax HD SCSI Zip Question


  I have an Emax HD (non-SE) with the external scsi upgrade. This 
  requires my SCSI ID to be at 0 to recognize a drive as many of you 
  may already know. I purchased a zip drive that will allow me to use 
  the SCSI ID 0 and it will Scan disk for Errors just fine, but when I 
  try to Format a disk, it just says "Loading Software". The light 
  comes on the Zip drive I hear some noise and the whole thing is over 
  in about 8 seconds. After this happens I try to boot from SCSI and 
  its a no go. I am under the impression that formatting should take a 
  few minutes not a few seconds, so I assume my zips havent been 
  formatted. Has anyone else experienced this? 

  I have experimented with different termination settings. I havc 
  experimented with different scsi ID's, although becomes painfully 
  obvious that nothing will happen unless at ID 0. The internal hard 
  drive is obviously disconnected for the zip to work. I have checked 
  cables and done everything that I can think of. Will the non SE Emax 
  HD just not work with a zip drive? Am I missing something? I can 
  format with the same zip drive and save files fine with my MPC 60. No 
  go with the Emax. Tell what im missing here. 

  Thanx in advance.....
