Re: [emax] Emax SE+ not booting Plus os

2010-06-30 by Ted Summers

Augusto-

Because it has HD and is Rev 3 (PC333) logic does not mean it is SE.
Since you say the HD OS disk works, then it sounds like you don't have  
SE.

DOwnload the SE Update image file from the group files section.
Download EMXUTIL from the files section.

Format a disk on Emax
Boot a PC into dos (not DOS window in XP- real actual boot of MS-DOS  
6.22 or 5.0 boot disk  and run EMXUTIL
(if you don't have a dos boot disk, there is again, a file in the  
group file section for this....)

Select write OS image from the menu and then the file name of SE  
Update IMage.

Boot Emax from this disk now and it should update to SE.
Now SE / Plus 1.0 disk should work.

Regards,
Ted

Hi there, I recently bought an Emax Se plus (2100 model). Since then  
I've been trying to boot it in Se and Plus mode without any luck.
Tried copying the os image with Emxp and no luck, then managed to use  
the copyqm in a native DOS environment and copied the ZD700PLS image  
and no luck. The sample says 'Loading software', 'Loading bank' and  
then 'Wrong Software'.
I managed to succesfully copy every sound disk I wanted and also  
creating Emax HD 1.1 bootable disks. They work great but neither Se  
nor the Plus are working for me.

I'm suspecting something is wrong here. Is it possible for the seeler  
to change something inside the sampler? I disassembled the keyboard  
and took some pictures of the main boards. Seems to be a legitimate Se 
+. PC333 cpu board, internal SCSI CN2 free, external SCSI connected,  
Analog board PC345 and EChip PC349 rev.

Looking forward to hear your thoughts about this.
