Re: [emax] Iomega Jaz formatting problems. EMAX II Freezes

2010-06-07 by Ted Summers

Have you verified that the SCSI internal HD the termination is OFF?

Set it to OFF and set Term on for Jaz.
There should only be 1 terminator on the bus.

Hi all.

After searching on the list, I can't find the right answer.

I've tried to format an Iomega Jaz disk (I have to say I am new to zip  
units).

What I got is after 20 min showing "FORMAT Disk. Verifying... " on the  
LCD, the EMAX got frozen with TRANSPOSE, DRIVE SELECT, ENTER, and  
DIGITAL PROCESSING, PRESET MANAGEMENT, PRESET DEFINITION lights on,  
and a lot of ?????????????? on the LCD.

After rebooting I lost the internal HD directory but after a new  
reboot, Things were fine as before.

New try with Terminator set to OFF and it didn't freeze, but no  
success with the formatting.

Then I try the first way again, and after the freeze and reboot, the  
EMAX finds the Jaz with the following details:
SCSI 2: iomega j
Avail: C08MB 99%

Now I try to copy an internal HD bank into the Iomega and get this  
message:
SCSI:
EOF Error!

Any suggestions? SCSI experts, come to me :)
Thanks.

SCIS details:
Iomega Jaz unit: Terminator set ON, SCSI number: #2
Zip Disk: 2 GB
Internal EMAX HD SCSI: #4
