Emax

Dear All:

Recently I bouthg an Apple CD150 in excellents conditions. I conected it
via SCSI to my EMAX II but it does not recognize it. My EMAX has an
internal Hard Disk QUANTUM that I think it is not the problem because
when the EMAX did not have it yet, it did not recognize it either then.

I did used the ID from the 2 to the 7. When I try to access the CD150
with an ID from 2 to 7, the EMAX gets freeze. I\ufffdm sure that the CD150 is
working ok. because I tested it in a Power Mac 8100. The "terminator"
that it has is "passive" type  and I think it might be an "active" type
so it could work good. I haven\ufffdt found information related to the
"terminator" type that I must connect to the CD150. Beside, the SCSI
EMAX system is ok, because it recognize well an IOMEGA ZIP 250. Could it
be that the internal Hard Disk and the SCSI input are both using the
same Bus? I don\ufffdt know the EMAX electronic distribution. So I would
really appreciate if somebody could please give me any orientation about
this problem.

Thanks.

There's only one SCSI port, for both the internal and external drives. 
SCSI is notoriously picky about exactly how different bits can be
interconnected.  Ideally, the SCSI chain should be terminated at both
ends, but in practice you may find that it doesn't work unless one end
*isn't* terminated, or something in the middle *is*...

SCSI is in general a bit of a dark art, more so with samplers and stuff
for some reason.  You can't break anything by experimenting (unless you
terminate *everything, or plug stuff in or unplug it when it's switched
on).  Oh, and my Emax II hangs up for *ages* when you have dodgy SCSI
devices - sometimes I get an error after about 10 minutes.

Hi Josue, I use the Emax II with a Pionneer CDrom drive, and also a Sony CDrom Drive, and have no problems with them.
Where are you from?
Regards.
Pedro.

Hi Josue,

recently I bought an Apple CD150 - and have the same problem as you 
have... my Emax falls in a deep sleep when trying to switch to this 
SCSI device.
Do you have found a solution for this problem yet?
Does anybody uses an Apple CD150 drive with an Emax II at all???

Thanks and best wishes,
Chris
