Emax II Rack issues

2009-03-16 by s*

My Emax II rack has started going a bit crazy recently.  Every time I power
it on, it appears to load the floppy OS but I get a message saying
"Warning!  Need to recalibrate".  The Emax seems to load disks fine however,
I cannot seem to completely format a floppy or save to a floppy.  Also, the
other night while sampling I noticed that when I sampled a sound on C2, it
overwrote the same sample (only truncated differently) onto C1,D1,E1 & F1.
I fear that my sample ram may be corrupt or that my floppy drive is dying.
I tried to get another floppy drive and even thought they appear to be able
to set to drive 0, I cannot get the emax to recognise them.  The machine
seems to save fine via SCSI though.  I am working on a project with a friend
and he has an emax non SCSI'd so, a floppy drive would be very handy right
now.

I'm kind of at a loss what to try now.  If anyone has some helpful advice,
your suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

-s*
