Re: [emax] Re: Emax II failing to boot from SCSI device

2012-12-18 by Simon Forsyth

The drive works fine on ID7 loads banks and saves without issue. 
I have changed the jumpers to switch it to ID1 and still get the same problem the Emax is still only looking for the floppy

You cannot use ID7, 7 is the address of the scsi controller, set it to something between 1 and 6 and it should be fine (0 is the floppy)

I have the same annoying issue. Is this EEPROM replaceable?

Hi Guys.. I posted this up a while ago, but am looking for a solution here

The Emax boots from floppy, but when I try to assign it to boot from an
internal SCSI drive (ID7) it says it saves the setting but still searches
for the floppy on bootup.

The settings appear to be saved as it is still set to ID 7 when you go
back into boot ID settings but the Emax still insists on a floppy being
inserted to boot
The Emax should be able to boot from any ID right?..

Is this likely a failing of the EEPROM at IC24?..
