Hello

Have you solved the problem?
I have same thing. I've made several 3.2-bootdisks and changed the 
disk drive also. All the same. EMAX starts to load and then stops 
(after these 3 "ticks"). I made short searching with google to found 
this controller chip mentioned before, but i didn't found anything 
data about it. 
So, i have no idea, is the problem disk or drive controller.

It's strange that how it could made even these 3 ticks, if 
controller is broke down. 
In other hand, i have made these bootdisks with working 720k-floppy 
drive, which i also use to make some disks to my ensoniq eps-16+. 
I've tried 2 different drives in my EMAX. same function with both: 3 
ticks, then stop.

Any ideas? Anyone?

Best Regards,
Jukka
