Emax

I have an Emax SE keyboard. I found a "non-working" emax rack HD on  
ebay.
Exterior not in too good shape as it was further damaged in shipping.  
Fuse holder missing - no wonder it "doesn't turn on" according to  
seller.

Hard Drive is dead (multiple blinks- I have seen this before in old  
macs), and system hangs on Diagnostics. This is fine so far.

I want to make my Emax SE keyboard an SE HD. It has a PC333 board.
I have 2 of the miniscribe 20MB drives that are known working.... I  
have a brand new SCSI 5380 chip.
So I drop in IC13 and IC49 from the rack board. Install the SCSI  
5380, and cabling. Install known good HD.

I can boot normal SE1.1 OS disk.
Floppy drive is NOT bad- it is brand new, as I put it in recently (I  
know how to change the ID0 on new drives to work in emax)

I try to make an SE1.1 HD disk with EMX in DOS 6.22.
Tried formatting on Emax first, as well as formatting with EMX.

Symptom:
See "Loading Software" and hear floppy disk loading.. normal sounds -  
3 times it makes the not strange loading a floppy does. Then it just  
stops.

Now to the question: Is the EMX program just not properly making the  
OS disk?

While I am using MS-DOS 6.22, does the PC speed have anything to do  
with a successful OS creation? The PC is a 2.8Ghz P4.

I dunno if it will make a difference, but I will try on a P1/233Mhz  
tomorrow at work.

Thanks,
Ted
