Emax

Well the confusion is my fault be I've "heard" that the Emax II looks
for Floppy Drive first at startup, then SCSI, the HD. I have an HD
that's functioning (when the keyboard will even work) but at startup I
get a "floppy disk error" and one red light shines next to the stop
button.

sorry for my ignorance I've never had to do anything inside it but
give it an HD (from my old Mac). But though the floppy seems to work,
it is transmitting an error message at startup, effectively freezing
the Emax II. Do you know why a normally functioning floppy drive would
transmit such a disabling signal? Loose wires inside maybe?
