Emax

"Disregard the message that I transmitted before this one. It was accidentally transmitted before I completed it."

I went back and revisited the procedure and discovered that I had attached the ribbon connector incorrectly from the PCB board to the Analog board. It was causing some overheating. Luckily I caught it before powering the unit on again.

Well after fixing that problem I desoldered, resoldered and recut IAW the step by step guidance. I finally plug and powered up and got the "Diagnostics" reading on the display. However it did not read "E-mu Systems, Inc Diagnostics" as it read on my Emax rack. It only reads "Diagnostics" and the "Loading Software" so I excited until the dreaded "Timeout Error" appeared. 

That is where I am stuck right now. Does anyone have any idea what is causing this?

Thanks

Reggio
