It won't boot from the floppy disc. It starts with a diagnostics message then says loading software after which it hangs.. I can't get any of the buttons to respond either. The red light between Stop and Analog Processingstays on all the time. ________________________________

thats a bad floppy drive it cant boot when the 2 led,s stay on easy fix get a replacement floppy drive make sure yoou can get 1 with ds0 and ry signals as jumpers what revision is the mother board if its a revision2/3 then you can upgrade it to scsi and fit a slim floppy drive with a slim floppy convertor and a pcd-50b scsi to pcmcia cf card drive fast cheap and 32mb cards go for £3-5 each so its easy to make a big collection my EII library is 800 floppy banks you get 35 banks per cf card you would need 23 cf cards just for my EII collection and its growing as im adding new sample content daily love the EII sound and the emax is close in sounding identical

thanks jammie, actually i should have mentioned that i started to fit the slim floppy drive and card reader option a while back and the unit has not been used for a while. i did buy the scsi upgrade and fitted that into the board too. i think i might be missing some software update for the new scsi set up though .as any of the discs that previously worked on the SE give either disc error; timeout error, or disc not formatted messages, when one disc did start to load, the green sequencer light came on and an insert disc message appeared. after which the unit was unresponsive. so i'm a bit stuck at this point ________________________________

easy fix get a replacement floppy drive
make sure yoou can get 1 with ds0 and ry signals as jumpers
what revision is the mother board
if its a revision2/3 then you can upgrade it to scsi and fit a slim floppy drive with a slim floppy convertor
and a pcd-50b scsi to pcmcia cf card drive fast cheap and 32mb cards go for £3-5 each so its easy to make a big collection
my EII library is 800 floppy banks
you get 35 banks per cf card you would need 23 cf cards just for my EII collection and its growing as im adding new sample content daily
love the EII sound and the emax is close in sounding identical

hi jammie, finally got hold of a computer with a floppy disc drive and have been trying to load the os into my emax 1 se but had no luck. i've tried a lot of different dd discs to transfer on to, admittedly they are all quite old. but i just wanted to check that it is the "ZD700_3.2OS" floppy image i should be trying to boot the unit with or is it another OS that you referred to below? thanks --- In emax@yahoogroups.com, "jammie" <jammie.emma@...> wrote:

hi jammie, finally got hold of a computer with a floppy disc drive and have been trying to load the os into my emax 1 se but had no luck. i've tried a lot of different dd discs to transfer on to, admittedly they are all quite old.
but i just wanted to check that it is the "ZD700_3.2OS" floppy image i should be trying to boot the unit with or is it another OS that you referred to below?
thanks
