emax I or emax II won't boot without an floppy drive connected.

also, isn't there a problem that the emax1 wont boot off SCSI if there
is no floppy drive at all present? so if that's the case, at very least
you'd have to tuck away your old drive inside the emax to be able to use
it without the drive, anyway... :-)
