Does anyone know if you can boot up from the SCSI port? I have a ZIP 100 drive connected with all of my samples and programs on and it would be convenient (and probably less noisy!) to boot up from this rather than booting from a floppy every time. Is there any setting to tell the Emax where to look to boot up? Also - has anyone successfully installed an internal SCSI zip drive in their machine? I might try and do this soon. Thanks

Just copy your op sys to the Zip and it should automatically be found on boot up. I have this working on both the Emax SE Plus HD and Emax II without any problems. regards Lyn

Hi Lyn, Thanks for the quick response. The problem is the emax always looks to the floppy disk drive first and I can't find the settings where you can tell it to look at the SCSI port first. Do i have to take the floppy drive out?

Yes, it always looks at the floppy but should automatically count through the SCSI chain until it finds your Zip, which will be either 5 or 6 and terminated, yes ? The preferred SCSI boot drive is under Master/Special. You don't need to do anything with the floppy Are you using the II ? Occasionally, the II would not see the Zip, but that would be after a disconnect/reconnect and I'd just have to reattach the SCSI cable, usually at the Emax side.. Lyn

Isn´t the Floppy defined as SCSI 0? Roger

So you'll need a SCSI device which can have the SCSI ID set to zero. External ZIP drives can only have the ID set to 5 or 6. Internal ZIP drives however can have a SCSI ID set to 0 (I think). The EMAX-II checks the whole SCSI-chain, so if you use an EMAX-II you can boot from any SCSI device. Maybe I am wrong about the Emax Plus, but that's what I read about it and mine seems also not to be able to boot from an external ZIP drive (but I don't have a lot of experience with that machine). ///E-Synthesist --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "Alastair Gibbs" <alastair.gibbs@...> wrote: > > Hi Lyn, > > Thanks for the quick response.

Yes it is, but only on an EMAX-II (unless you change it). Not on EMAX- HD/Plus. The internal HD of an EMAX-HD/Plus has the ID set to 0. You can remove this internal harddrive or perhaps change its ID, and then reassign the ID 0 to an external HD if the external device allows it. In that case you can boot from the external HD. EMAX-HD/Plus always tries to boot from floppy or SCSI ID 0. As far as I know the floppydrive in the EMAX (the non-EMAX-II that is) is simply not a SCSI device... See also the PDF files on the SCSI upgrade on www.emulatorarchive.com. ///E-Synthesist --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "Roger Schumann" <roger_schumann@...> wrote: > > Isn´t the Floppy defined as SCSI 0? > > Roger > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: esynthesist > To: emax@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Sunday, September 24, 2006 10:48 PM > Subject: [emax] Re: Boot from SCSI > > > As far as I know the Emax Plus can only boot from either floppy or > SCSI 0.

I used to boot off an internal zip drive (until the zip drive itself died) it will work... however it's not really a solution for most as usually the reason you want to boot off scsi is because the floppy is dead. if the floppy drive is dead, you can't format the zip drive in the first place, its rather paradoxical... if you start with the internal zip @ a different ID format it with the floppy then put the ZIP drive to 0, it works... ack those were painful times... ~AJB --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "esynthesist" <esynthesist@...> wrote:
