I tried all ways, set a scsi 0 and 1, but nothing changes,  Iomega jaz disc and the floppy disc can be formatted, but HD not. What other options are?

That isn't entirely true. 
While it is correct that on Emax 2 the SCSI ID cannot be 0 for the HD, I have Emax 1 and Emax 2 BOTH with SD card media and it boots from them.

If you have set the setting for SCSI ID in Emax 2 after booting once from floppy, from there you should be able to boot from that SCSI ID.

The 5380 SCSI controller in Emax is not smart enough to really know that a drive is a removable media or not, from my experience, or research.

Ted

Dear folk, checking your SCSI ID , in EMAX SCSI 0 is reserved to floppy. Checking your default SCSI HD ID, must be 1 to 7.

Put terminator jumper on HD if it is in the end of SCSI chain.

In case you use a SCSI chain disconect other devices letting alone HD and tr y to format.

Emax OS won't start from removable media HD.
