Emax

Are both OS matched?  Many hopes you get this setup working, but if not, at least you could use the rack unit as where you send the sounds out from and use the 2mb Keyboard as your controller.  The MIDI in/out/through should be able to control the rack unit.  A little cumbersome but think of your total setup as a 10mb system.  Great for layering.

Sometimes it shows garbarge at the LCD, some others it just stop respondig or all lights turn on. Since both mainboards work ok when not swapped i suppose i'm out of luck and somehow the MB of my KB and the MB of my Rack are incompatible. :-(

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.

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 ?
