Emax

Hi Guys,

I've been having problems connecting a ZIP drive to my Emax II.  I've 
tried two different drives and each time the Emax displays a message 
saying 'not emax2 drive'.  On both ZIP drives I've tried using scsi 5 
and and always power up the drive before the emax.  

Is there something I'm doing wrong, or is it my emax that has a problem?

Cheers
Tobi

You always get this message when:
a/ there's no ZIP disk in the drive
b/ the ZIP disk in the drive is not formatted for EMAX-II (yet).

If this is the first time you'll use a ZIP drive/disk on EMAX-II just 
- connect the drive to the EMAX-II
- put a disk in the drive
- and immediately go to the master module to format the disk. 
(in the Format function, you'll have to select your drive. If the ZIP 
drive works properly on SCSI 5, EMAX-II will show you the "IOMEGA" 
drive on SCSI ID 5)

So don't use the "Drive select" button befor having formatted a ZIP-
disk.

After formatting is completed (can take a long time !), the "Drive 
Select" button will work fine.

Does the Emax find the drive when you press drive select ?

Hello,

Thanks for the quick response.  Problem solved!  Yes, I was trying to select
the drive in order to format it which is where I was going wrong!

Thanking you!
Tobi
