Emax

I have some updates:

I got the zip drive I bought from e-bay today, but the guy forgot to 
include the zip disk that was supposed to come with it.

I decided to plug it in anyway and see if my e-max would start up... 
and it didn't.

I checked the back and set the switch to "termination on" and tried 
both scsci id 5 and 6.

Sorry to be so inpatient, but the disks will probably take another 
week to get here.

There is no internal HD, I have the 50-25pin scsi adapter and an 
Iomega SCSCI zip 100mb hooked up.  I have no zip disk in the zip 
drive but I have the operating system in the floppy ready to boot.  I 
starts off reading the disk but then the screen goes blank and it 
freezes there.  Is this normal?

I can start up the emax perfectly if I disconnect the adapter and 
just boot from floppy.

Thanks
