Emax

Mmmm...

I hope it's not the same kind of problem as the one I have with my SCSIForSamplers drive and my Emax-I.
With this drive my Emax-I is able to format the disks and even write banks to them, but the same Emax-I is not able to read these banks :)

What version of the CF drive do you have ?

Can you open the drive and write down the brand and version number of the IDE/SCSI interface board (the board which is connected via ribbon cables to the actual CF drive board at one side and with the SCSI ports at the other side) ?

It's known that SCSIForSamplers has released some drives with "wrong" IDE/SCSI adapter boards; these drives are not 100 pct compatible with older Emu and Ensoniq samplers. Although I'm not sure that the Emax-II had problems with it...
