SE HD OS should work for you as well. Stock config with no external scsi attached.

FWIW 2 of my keyboards were SE from the factory and I can't boot the drives in those either, but it did all start the day I tried to update a non SE kybd to SE and then to Plus. Could a botched SE upgrade be to blame for failed HD formats, essentially rendering those drives unreadable/unusable by Emax?

Sadly I still get the "HD Catalog Error" whenever I attempt do do anything that requires the hard disk. But it is an interesting change in behavior. It's a small clue, though I don't know what to make of it yet.
