Re: [emax] emax version 2 board SCSI upgrade in action...

2008-11-01 by mr julian

well, just a note to say I finished the mods, put it all back together 
and seem to have an upgraded emax (seem to - cause I have no SCSI drives 
I can use with it just yet....)

On first powering up the emax, I had a bit of a scare, in that the whole 
thing came up "dead" - no response... but a bit of disconnecting and 
reseating the connectors, and it came up with the screen displaying the 
word "diagnostics" - kinda like the install manual said it world... but 
no mention of e-mu systems.

it booted the supplied install disk, which seemed to run with no 
problems, then gave me a booted emax with empty sample RAM.

One thing I notice is that now whenever I turn it on I get the 
"diagnostics" message on the screen, before it boots - But it boots my 
old disks fine still, and testing it with a pattern from SEQ-303, 
everything on the old disk I'm using (spectrum synth emax SE) plays 
fine... So I guess I'll see what happens when I get a SCSI device 
attached in there. and boot from the install disk again..... that's on 
my to do list now.

Anyway - cheers for the project, Ted!
