Emax

plus os is for changing the scsi id to what ever you require this is for external drives which can be set to any other id than just 0 on the zips it has to be scsi 5

now the emax hd os will only see scsi id 0

so it wont see the zip disk at all

you need the plus os for that

now you will need to always use a floppy disk to load the os with a drive on scsi 5 becuase when the machine is switched of it looses all knowledge of this setting

and becuase it is a software switch you have to set it every time you boot the machine to scsi id 5 so that it can scan for the hd on that scsi id

now you need to make sure that the termination is on the external drive

  Subject: [emax] Emax 1 SE Plus (non HD) SCSI Zip Drive Interface Problem


    
  Hi,

  I was hoping to get some additional advice or help with my Emax ? I have an Emax 1 SE Plus (no internal HD). The Emax has factory SCSI interface ( PLus Model). 

  This is the scenario:

  I bought the Emax SE Plus , very clean but no software included.
  Then I bought a 1.1 Rev. boot disk .
  The Emax booted and worked. The disk only had one test sample on it.
  So now the Emax works, but I have no sounds.
  I bought the Emax 1 library on Zip 100 disks 
  I then found out that my 1.1 OS would not support the SCSI interface.
  I bought a correct 1.0 OS Floppy .
  Now the Emax boots with 1.0 OS , then 'Transpose' button shows SCSI ID is set at 0 . I try to change it to 5 (to match the Zip drive ID number).
  The Emax will not let me change the SCSI number from 0 (zero). 

  That is my dilemma . The Emax can not 'see' the Zip drive. The Zip drive's ID is not adjustable, it is set at 5 I think. For some reason, the Emax won't allow me to change the SCSI ID number , I think it is supposed to be adjustable on the Emax ?

  Can I get inside the Zip and change the ID to 0 (zero) ? It is an Iomega Zip 100 Parallel Drive. Or is my Emax not working correctly by not allowing me to change the SCSI number ? Or maybe I'm doing something wrong ? 

  It seems that the 1.0 OS was made for an Emax SE Plus HD , my Emax does not have an HD, does that matter ? 

  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

  Regards,
  Lori
