Emax 2 model number 2213 Help required.

2010-12-23 by Piers Dent

Hi Emax group.
I am new to the group and in need of a little assistance.
I have an Emax 2 model number 2213 and I have it listed on Ebay at the moment.
I have lost the Boot disc in a house move and am consequently having trouble booting up the machine.
It has been a while since I used it and I have forgotten how!
I have a DAC 4000 removable cartridge system which is attached to the Emax by SCSI cable.
When I power up the Emax (having turned on the DAC already) the Emax cycles through the following:
Checking floppy.........(No disc in there so nothing happens)
Checking SCSI 1 (it takes a longish look here......)
then it scrolls through checking SCSI 2 to 7 and then back to checking SCSI 1and round again infinitely.
I don't think the DAC has an OS on it, just sounds as I remember.
I dont have a boot up disc and I am wondering if this is why I cannot get in to see how much memory is in there - which is what I have of course been asked on Ebay......
Is there anywhere that I can download an OS onto floppy to get the thing booted? I have found a site in the States which can send me one.....but with the poor weather, Christmas rush and the Auction running on............
I would rather not cancel the auction and disappoint people, but if the machine is faulty then I need to.
Any help gratefully received.
Thanks..
Yours in ignorant anticipation..........

Piers
