Emax

So, I reseated all the chips as suggested and still only had one meg.  I then saw a copy of the EMAX 2 tech manual on ebay so I bought it.  Interestingly enough the solution ended up being kinda of "duh" moment.  In the manual it states that when inserting the daughter board make sure you hear a "pop" to know that it is seated properly.  I guess I was too afraid of putting too much pressure on it and never got the "pop".....now, I have an 8 meg Emax that looks nice and minty!!
Never thought id be excited over 8 megs.  

Now, if i can figure out why my emax II leds keep blinking I can fix that and movve it along.


Thanks for those that offered help and suggestions.

If they flash repeatedly on bootup and you hear a "tcking" noise, then the PSU 
will probably need recapping.. They will sometimes do that for a while and then 
boot, but it is a sign that the PSU needs attention
