Emax

Ted,
         Are you sure about the ID 0 setting? if it's a SCSI zip drive, you should be able to 
tell the Emax in the master section what SCSI ID to boot from.

I don't use Zip drives, so I'm not sure..

If when you formatted the zip you copied the plus OS to it, then yes- 
but keep in mind unless you have a Zip that can be set to ID0, the 
Emax won't boot from it.

Regards,
Ted

Hello,
I bought a used Emax recently. Every now and then I get a "Disk Not 
Formatted!" error when it's trying to load the software, and when it 
decides to move beyond the error, then the floppy seems to work fine. 
Now it seems to be in a state where I can't move beyond the error and 
I can't load the OS. I did successfully install an external SCSI jack 
and I was able to format a Zip disk a few days ago. Is there OS Plus 
1.0 on the Zip disk? And if so can I get it to boot from the Zip disk? 
I've tried to insert the floppy again and again, I've repeatedly 
rebooted the Emax, all I get is a crunching sound in the floppy drive 
and the error message like it's trying its best to read the floppy but 
just can't pull it off. Is it time replace the floppy drive, I'm sure 
it's the original drive.
Thanks!
Robert
