EmulatorII-list

Thanks  Rob.
The cable was wrong.
I have made a new one.
but it dont seems to work.
This time the display says cannot init EII error 02. :0(
but the EII  made a small response
the floppy made a small noise and the display says,
under control of macintosh..
any suggestions?
sorry for my bad english.

Regards Jonas

Hi,
This is a good step forward. The CDS3 is now correctly taking control of the
EII, but it is not completing EII "initilisation".

The CDS3 manual suggests that this is a connection problem. Given the cable
is correct, I suggest checking the EII RS422 internal connection.

Power Off the EII.
Open the case, be very careful not to damage the internal cable between top
and bottom casings.

Locate the RS422 socket.
Note the following:

Which pins are wired up on the socket.
Check there are no wiring breaks.
Whether the wiring goes to a small daughterboard or straight to the digital
board.
At the same time check the OS boot ROM version numbers. They are on the
digital board and have paper stickers on them.

Close the case and power back on.
Note the serial number and OS version.
Double check the CDS3 dip settings and the new cable wiring.

Email me with the information you find. It may be that your RS422 port is
wired up differently.

Regards
Rob

Thanks Rob
E2 mainboot is2.1dm
And there is another one with sticker on it (e2  3.0scanner
my serial nr is 2497
The 422port is right on the digi board
Do I have to lose the whole board to check the connections?
By the way, I would like to put in a 3.5 floppy but mine is a single 
drive.
I have located that there is a second cable there.would it be any 
problems?The problems might be to find a new front panel to my 
5 1/4drive ,
thanks for now

cheers Jonas.

PS: i have made a cdrom for the EIII with the orinal sounds from 
my sci studio 440.would you like to test it and give me your 
opinion.ds
