Emax

If you have a disk in the floppy on power-up it should boot from that regardless to if you 
have it set to boot from any other SCSI ID#. Yes, it does store the boot ID even after 
power off, but it should be looking at the floppy first and foremost, the fact that it doesn't 
see the floppy drive is the first thing I would try to solve by reseating the ribbon 
connector. Can you tell if the floppy is powering up at all?

Has it been moved lately? Perhaps something came loose.
