Emax

ok. so i have TWO emax II's that behave the same.

things like on-off termination has been tested.

the Plextor behaves just like the apple cd300plus cd rom which is not supposed to work anyway.

both emax ii's have internal disk: one has an apple scsi hd, the other has a syquest.

now if i attached syquest external drives to either of these, everything works perfect.

as soon as add a cdrom drive either alone or before or after the external syquest, the system wont boot !

the cables i used with the cd rom works with the syquest.

i am going to repeat all the test tomorrow, but if you had better ideas, please let me know.

this is really odd!
