Emax

Hi all,

I just got a cheap Emax II 2212 model, and am currently wondering if it wasn't such a good deal after all....

FYI - It has a 250mb Apple SCSI drive inside, and the original SCSI floppy drive.

I have the original 2.14 OS disk, and I have also created additional 2.14 OS disks using EMXP

When I power on the Emax II with the OS floppy disk in the drive I get the following messages:

Checking Floppy

Loading Software

Disk Not Formatted

and then a loop of Loading Software/Disk Not Formatted

I can hear the floppy drive clicking every 10-15 seconds. I get red lights on STOP and RECORD.

None of the buttons are functional.

I have tried disconnecting the internal Hard Drive to see if that makes a difference and nothing changes. I have also tried disconnecting the Floppy to see if it will boot from the HD, and again nothing.

Can anyone point me in the right direction as to what may be the problem? I have a floppy drive cleaning kit on order, just in case... and am prepared to splash out on a new floppy drive if that is definitely the problem.

Thanks

Tony
