Re: [emax] Mainboard swapping

      I was once told by an Emu tech that the lights lighting up by each button are codes, certain buttons with light up for different issues. I believe if you pull a cable or disconnect the display or floppy drive on a normally working unit...at boot you will see certain button lights lit that corresponds to the issue.
Wish i had a cheat sheet on it.....

  Subject: [emax] Mainboard swapping


    Hi,

  I have an Emax II Keyboard with 2 MB and an Emax II rack with 8 MB. Both work fine. I tried to swap mainboards but the keyboard doesn't boot with the rack MB. The upper line of the display shows black squares and all the buttons lights turn on. If i swap them again both Emaxes keep working. I noticed that the keyboard MB has an RN6 chip that the rack one doesn't have (the socket is empty on the rack MB). Any ideas of what that chip does ? Anyone knows which is the chip that store the sound memory size ? 

  Thanks,

  Diego
