Emax

Does this problem occur with all of your disks ?
Because sometimes if there's a defective soundbank or OS on the 
floppy disk, it can cause the Emax immediately to "crash". 
Have you tried with a floppy *only* containing the OS, but no bank ?
As far as I remember you should also use the appropriate OS, e.g. no 
OS for HD versions if you don't have a HD Emax...

Of course there's only a small chance that the above is the actual 
cause of your problem, but you never know: the above problem would be 
much easier to solve than trying to find spare parts...

and says: 'wait a moment' loads the disk and display the loaded 
bank/preset and then hangs, i.e. it doesn't matter which buttons I 
press, nothing happens. The 'Enter' led lights up as normal but no 
other leds (except for 'Analog processing'-led at beginning) or any 
sequences of leds turns on. So I don't get any hint from some 
diagnostic check at start up.

The only led that stays on is the 'Enter' led.
