Emax

Hey!

I have some other experience when it comes to this (in fact, its still a 
problem for me) ..

I have an Emax, with hard drive, and a bad floppy. The floppy is so bad it 
thinks it consttantly has a disk inside it, and thus, the emax won't boot, 
since the floppy has higher boot prio.

I have tried to unplug the floppy, both power and the flat cable, but the 
machine never gets further than self diagnostics...

Since i have another machine with a working floppy, I have plugged that one 
in, and with that floppy drive installed, my Emax boots from its hard drive, 
as it should...

Is there any jumpers or anything that one should switch, or should it just be 
to unplug the flat cable to the floppy drive?

Effectively, this prevents me from having both emaxes running at the same 
time, even though I should have enough "healthy" components...

Any suggestions what to do? ... how should I unplug the drive so the machien 
doesnt halt in self diagnostics, or should i just let it run there for a long 
time before it realizes there's no floppy at all? ;)

thanks,
Micke
