Hard drive problems

2008-05-17 by brent

I have tried to install a zip drive
But my emax 2 can't see the drive
Tried another same thing and internal SCSI same 
Tried every ID# it says hard drive not found
If I press enter anyway it says Hard ware error
I had one before and it worked then
I rely miss the speed 

If any one has any suggestions I would love to here them
Thanks

A scsi Zip will only work on ID 5 or 6. Make sure you terminate the Zip.

Make sure you're connections are good - these old Emax's sometimes
need the contacts cleaning or re-plugging.
