Emax 1 SE Plus (non HD) SCSI Zip Drive Interface Problem

2012-10-04 by loricruzer

Hi,

I was hoping to get some additional advice or help with my Emax ?  I have an Emax 1 SE Plus (no internal HD). The Emax has factory SCSI interface ( PLus Model). 

This is the scenario:

I bought the Emax SE Plus , very clean but no software included.
Then I bought a 1.1 Rev. boot disk .
The Emax booted and worked. The disk only had one test sample on it.
So now the Emax works, but I have no sounds.
I bought the Emax 1 library on Zip 100 disks 
I then found out that my 1.1 OS would not support the SCSI interface.
I bought a correct 1.0 OS Floppy .
Now the Emax boots with 1.0 OS , then 'Transpose' button shows SCSI  ID is set at  0 . I try to change it to 5 (to match the Zip drive ID number).
The Emax will not let me change the SCSI number from 0 (zero). 

That is my dilemma .  The Emax can not 'see' the Zip drive. The Zip drive's ID is not adjustable, it is set at 5  I think.  For some reason, the Emax won't allow me to change the SCSI ID number ,  I think it is supposed to be adjustable on the Emax ?

Can I get inside the Zip and change the ID to 0 (zero) ?  It is an Iomega Zip 100 Parallel Drive.  Or is my Emax not working correctly by not allowing me to change the SCSI number ?  Or maybe I'm doing something wrong ? 

It seems that the 1.0 OS was made for an Emax SE Plus HD , my Emax does not have an HD, does that matter ?  

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,
Lori
