Emax

I get the 3 ticks and stop when I have a bad disk, I suspect that's the problem, when I make OS disks in EMX that happens, but when I make copies of the OS disks I have it works fine.  Try and get an OS disk from another local emax user and see if that loads.

  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
