Found the way out. This may be usefull for someone, someday.

The problem was Emax didnt talk to 50b. Either emax scsi retro and 50b with PCMCIA to SD card adapter were tested and worked fine but not together. Reason:

1. SD card media was incompatible. You may have to try a number of different brands. It must be <2Gb
2. Termination of the scsi chain is important. If you install 50b internally, and set terminator on 50b (jumper 3) its likely you wont have an issue with termination.
But if you set 50b external, 50b J3 is not good enough. Have either active treminator on 50b side, or have 50b in the middle of the chain with emax on one end and another sampler (or any other hardware with scsi terminator) at the other end.

This chain works

Roland s760
50b
SCSI CD ROM
EMAX
Roland s760 (another one)

cheers
lets make music now
