Emax

Back from vacation.
I've tested the serial port of my powerbook with my serial MOTU Midi
timepiece and it works fine.
So I guessed it had to be the cable, so i used a functional miniDin 8,
clipped one end and soldered the DP9 serial connector. I used the pinout
indicated on the Emulator Archives site. I checked the continuity of every
pin. The cable is theoretically fine.
I keep getting "Can't get keyboard map from Emax II" in Alchemy. Wether I
try to send or receive I get the same error.
There might be something I'm doing wrong either in Alchemy or on the Emax...

Am I suppose to be an a specific module on the Emax? Is there a setting?

I know Midi sample dump is suppose to work, but it's really slow and my Emax
is not connected in that way (hard to explain, complicated setup. Which I
will change if I really really have no choice...)

Any help is welcome!

Thanks
