Reseat EPROM IC 13 and check display ribbon cable for the display showing black boxes�.

Verify good connection between floppy drive.
The floppy drive may have gone bad.
It is also possible that if it was misconnected that it ruined the format on the disk you are trying, so try a couple different disks with the Emax2 drive in the Emax 1�.

Regards,
Ted

Hey Ted!
I did what you advised me but the problem persists! disassemble all emax carefully clean each connection and probe about 20 new floppy disks with different OS but nothing! 
sometimes is displayed disk not formatin, bad disk bank and then a few secons freezed or one line of black squares or display goes blank  and always the floppy disk is damaged
I made somevideostrying to show what happens!:
