Emax II went bezerk this evening

2009-10-06 by Daniel Baum

Hi all,

My somewhat scruffy but perfectly functional Emax II went bezerk, briefly, this evening - flashing, clicking leds (all of them), flickering screen (saying "checking floppy"), the works. 

It happened the first time after I reconnected the zip drive after moving the Emax II to a different room.

I checked all the wires, tightened the SCSI plug and now it seems to be working perfectly again.

Obviously common sense says it was a loose plug that caused this; is there any other possibility?

Thanks,

D.

PS. I'm a little paranoid about my Emax II. It's not the oldest piece of equipment I own, but it does seem to be the most vulnerable to a million types of sticky end . . . .
