  Subject: [emax] Emax Beginner - No Boot


    
  Hello EMAX users!

  Trying to boot Emax keyboard. I have Emax 1 Model 1000 with PC333 board. Booting with floppy disk. Power on, says E-mu systems - please insert disk. Floppy inserted, Now loading software. 

  Drive appears to begin loading for a second or two. Loading stops, and the sampler freezes. I have tried a few different boot disks, all with same result. 

  Occasionally upon boot attempt, LCD display text will become garbled and a few LEDs will light. This changes with every boot attempt, with each try freezing up. Most times the display remains with Now Loading Software.

  I have not used Emax before, and do not know the usual loading procedure. Not aware of the duration when booting from floppy. Assuming it would take 15-30 seconds to load the OS. 

  Any suggestions are welcome. I am familiar with keyboard instrument repair..but this is my first attempt with sampler.

  I do hear a faint squeal from the power supply. Was concerned of perhaps bad capacitors, or other components in PSU. 

  Thank you,
  J.
