Re: [emax] Emax 1 Access Device

2010-05-19 by Ted Summers

I just got my emax2 so I am not the expert on this yet, but from my
understanding-

All Emax 2 have SCSI from the factory, and if you are running the latest OS
(2.14) you should be able to hook up a drive and then set the SCSI ID in the
menu that you will boot from.

Assuming your termination is correct, that should be it.

If I am wrong, somebody please correct me.

Regards,
Ted
