Emax

Hello Ted,

i finally could figure out it. in the floppy test section i could change jumpers until i got it worked. for this i had to figure out that the connector of the head plugged in the wrong direction (it was not keyed). flipping it and changing the jumpers made it work.

happy ending!

my other emax ii is not able to read the disk written by this one, but who cares....
