Emax

This works for me: --Try to boot the OS floppy and pull it out before the
boot is finished. Then the Emax II will  search for the files it needs and
if the HD you have has the OS on it,  it will find the OS and boot from the
HD then you'll be good for awhile. This works for me every time I have the
issue. Probably a glitch in older EmaxII's vs. newer. Other than that verify
you have the OS installed on the HD. This may also be associated with a
slower than required POST for the HD so the EMAX II doesn't recognize itself
as having an HD attached. By putting the floppy in you delay the time that
EMAX II giving it more time to assess there is a HD attached.

GOOD luck,

Skip

Subject: [emax] Emax II not booting from HD

 

  

Hi All

I have an Emax II which will only boot from floppy, despite setting the boot
ID differently in the System.
It will happily read the HD and all the banks on it, but will only boot from
floppy. 
I have tried other HDs but still no joy.. is this likely to be a boot ROM
issue?.. can this be easily fixed?..
