Emax II - Memory board unrecognised

2009-11-02 by Laurent/LIFELIKE

Hello guys

Sorry to change the subject here, but im stuck with a kind
Of a huge problem with my Emax II.
I got the 2213 model with 8mb board, everything was fine until
I decided to clean the 'monster' and chase the dust a couple of days  
ago.
Once rebooted Emax didnt saw more than 1mb, tried to pull the board  
off and
Check , still got 1mb, so the problem must come from Emax's eeprom.
After checking with other users it appears that i would need to
Reinitialise that eeprom in order to make the sampler "recognise" the  
memory expansion again.
Im trying to get my hand on a floppy ZD413 that has the ability to
Initialise the emax eeprom or somebody who would have access to
The code response challenge that appears in the Diagnostic menu (after  
typing 3629), submenu "adjust features".
I got all the Emax II manuals including the service manual and
None contains those damned code.
If somebody got that floppy disk or those code i would be glad to
Buy a copy from you.
Thank you all for your help in advance

Laurent
