Emax

Yes it is, but only on an EMAX-II (unless you change it). Not on EMAX-
HD/Plus. The internal HD of an EMAX-HD/Plus has the ID set to 0. You 
can remove this internal harddrive or perhaps change its ID, and then 
reassign the ID 0 to an external HD if the external device allows it. 
In that case you can boot from the external HD.
EMAX-HD/Plus always tries to boot from floppy or SCSI ID 0. As far as 
I know the floppydrive in the EMAX (the non-EMAX-II that is) is 
simply not a SCSI device...
