Re: [emax] EMAX II SCSI PROBLEM HELP

2014-06-06 by Ted Summers

Laurent-

The HD inside will have termination. you can have termination problems which result in the behavior.
If you unhook HD, boot from floppy then only have Zip externally with terminator, let us know if that works.
If it does, that confirms issue with SCSI chain setup.
E-mu did not follow "best practice" in their SCSI setup for these devices (they made it a star if you use both internal and external, and it is supposed to be chained....)

Regards,
Ted

Hello friends :-)

I recently got my hands on a new Emax II keyboard, model 2112, stereo 2MB, and im facing a little problem.
The problem occur when i connect whatever scsi peripherals, like CDROM apple 300e, or ZIP 100 drive or spyrus CF card R/W.

Emax II is on ID 1, when i press : Drive Select and choose SCSI ID 2 where my CDROM reader is, the screen
either got frozen, either it shows black stripes and the sampler reboots.

All works fine, but not the SCSI (external), is there anything wrong, or is there any chip missing maybe on the mainboard ?
I opened the emax to clean it, but as im not an expert, maybe if i send one of you guys a photo of the board,
you might be able to help me more?

Maybe i am connecting things wrongly ? i tried with terminated plug and without but it either freezes the machine either puts him back into a reboot…

Thanks in advance for your help

Laurent
