Emax SCSI issues

2011-09-13 by Scott Stanley

I am installing a slim floppy drive and PCD-50b into an Emax HD (non
SE) rack, model #1021, serial # 028541, CPU PCB PC 333 Rev A.

The Emax HD can see the slim floppy drive, also load and save without issues.

The Emax HD appears to see PCD-50b (the proper LED turns on when
requested) however, it will not complete a format of the PCMCIA CF
card.  After about 5 minutes or so (depending on what size of CF card
that I use) it displays a message saying "scsi hardware error".

I tested with 2 PCD-50b's that I own. Both units will display the same
error and both are definitely flashed for read/write access.  The only
jumper on each is the termination jumper.  I have tried multiple CF
cards, scsi cables, PCMCIA adapters and all give the same error.  This
is all done via the internal SCSI cable.

For this sampler I am using Emax HD OS 1.1.

Do I need to install the external kit for this to work or do I need to
upgrade my Emax to a Plus or something?  I  assuming that this might
have something to do with the original Connor HD being only 20mb's
perhaps?

If I need to provide more info, please let me know.

Any guidance is greatly appreciated,

Regards,
