Emax

Does your emax have an external scsi port?  Is your zip hooked up to it?

If so, you need the Emax Plus OS, if you have that, you hold down the transpose button and you see the scsi ID at zero (this specifies the internal Hard Drive)  Press whatever SCSI ID the zip is twice while the transpose button is held and it should change if the device is connected properly.  Once it is something other than zero, the format HD command will format the zip.  This is a much quicker format than the internal HD. 

A good way to test if you have the Plus OS is to hold the transpose button, if it says SCSI ID under transpose, you have plus and can proceed.

I am not sure why I have to hit the number twice, but for some reason it doesn't register when I only press it once.

  Subject: [emax] Formatting Zip Disk (Emax 1 se hd plus)


  I've got an Emax 1 hd se plus that currently has an internal hard
  drive.  I would 
  like to format a Zip disk connected to the external scsi connection. 
  I don't think 
  there is a way to specify which hd to format -the internal hd, or the
  zip.  Looks 
  like the existing internal drive is the only one visible to the Emax.


  1) To format an external Zip disk would I have to disconnect the
  internal hd, 
  and boot the Emax from floppy?  Select format hd.

  2) I also have an internal scsi Zip drive sitting around and wanted
  to know if 
  it's difficult to connect the wires if it were to be put in place of
  my
  existing internal 
  hd?  

  Thanks,
  Peter
