Emax

Ah, OK.  I understand the situation now.  Sorry if you've shared this  
information with the group already, but what external SCSI devices  
have you tried?

The external SCSI > IDE > CF I'm using is the Spyrus MC-DISK2, which I  
purchased from scsiforsamplers.com in 2008 before they ran out. As  
noted, I successfully formatted two 1GB SanDisk CF cards with this  
unit (set to SCSI device #3). I've also used this device successfully  
with my Emulator III (set to device #5).

Also, what type of Emax II do you have, and are you running the latest  
OS (2.14)? My Emax II was running 2.14 when I formatted the cards.
