Emax

Does anyone have any recommendations for currently available working CF cards that will work with a PCD-50B installed in an Emax II?

I have tried formatting the one I received with the PMCIA-CF converter card and it sits verifying for several hours, but I can never seem to boot from it when the operation completes.

dont use the transcend they are buggy

sandisk 512mb is good to go i use these in the EIII emax1/2 

with the upgrades i fit for customers

also have you set up the pcd-50b correctly as they are set to scsi ido and they have to be set to scsi id1 for it to boot from the cf card

Hi Jammie, that may explain it. I originally had the internal HD as the boot device. I had the PCD set to scsi 2.
Will reset jumpers and hopefully that will fix things :)

Thanks

Actually, the EmaxII can boot from any device, you just have to tell it which one.
Go to Master 9-Special > 6-SCSI Boot ID
If there is no boot device at the selected ID, then the Emax will scan the SCSI buss, and boot from the first device it finds.
For example, if the EmaxII is set to boot from SCSI ID 5 and there is no device there, but you do have bootable devices on ID's 2&4, it will boot from ID 2.

Hope this helps
