Hello esynthesist,
Yes I have tried different disks, and it's all the same.
When I use the OS3.2 disk it says 'CRC error' which means (I think) 'Cyclic Redundancy Check'. A way to check that data was received correctly.
But that message does not occur with the other disks, not with HD version anyway.

Does this problem occur with all of your disks ?
Because sometimes if there's a defective soundbank or OS on the
floppy disk, it can cause the Emax immediately to "crash".
Have you tried with a floppy *only* containing the OS, but no bank ?
As far as I remember you should also use the appropriate OS, e.g. no
OS for HD versions if you don't have a HD Emax...
Of course there's only a small chance that the above is the actual
cause of your problem, but you never know: the above problem would be
much easier to solve than trying to find spare parts...

and says: 'wait a moment' loads the disk and display the loaded
bank/preset and then hangs, i.e. it doesn't matter which buttons I
press, nothing happens. The 'Enter' led lights up as normal but no
other leds (except for 'Analog processing'- led at beginning) or any
sequences of leds turns on. So I don't get any hint from some
diagnostic check at start up.

The only led that stays on is the 'Enter' led.
