Re: Emax SE+ not booting Plus os

2010-06-30 by Augusto

Actually Ted it is a 2100 model with SE panel and external SCSI at the back. So this a Plus version and factory Se. It should boot a Plus 1.0.
No aftermarket upgrades, it's has the factory blue SCSI port.
Upgraded SCSI Emaxes have the last 's' from Systems covered by the port. Mine has Systems an inch to the left.
Am I right?  I'm just learnig everything I can.

Here are the pics:

Front panel:
