Emax

Hi Elmacao
   
  Yes, the external HD IS connected but it has no power. After approx. 10 - 15 seconds the Emax finds out that the HD is not accessible and the Emax will direct it's target boot device to the floppydrive.
   
  Best regards

          Thanks Brian, that's good to know, but you still have the HD hooked in the scsi chain, even if not powered up.

Anyone not have the HD inside at all?

Hi Elmacaco

I have an external ZIP drive and a HD which I can choose not to power up. If I choose not to, the Emax will eventually boot from the floppy drive.

Best regards

Brian

How many people have an external zip with no internal HD in the Chain?

I think even if you had a dead drive in the chain it would load,

Subject: [emax] my EMAX is driving me NUTS!!

Okay, so I've made a few posts of my process of upgrading my emax hd 
rack to support the external zip and now I know for a fact that it's 
not working.

After hard work cutting through the case and buying the 50-25pin 
adapter, zip drive, disks.. blah blah blah I'm left with a non-working 
EMAX!!! WHY!!!!? :(

The e-max actually works and boots when I don't use the 50-25pin 
adapter (I don't have a hard drive either), but when I try to boot from 
the floppy disk while the adapter is connected the floppy disk just 
says "Loading Software", ticks three times and then goes blank!

Does anybody know what's going on? I know the zip drive works, and the 
zip disk is new... the adapter was new too... It's just driving me nuts 
and I'm really bummed out that after so much hard work it's not working.

Please help!

Thanks
