TRANSPOSE - Turned off if the analog jack port is
detected. This will remain lit if the
analog board is not plugged in.

Hi! thanks for the support!

I did what you recommended, unplug  de flat cable of the analog board and cleaned it, then restart de sampler and start without problem but when connect scsi zip drive failure again! (the wrong characters and trasnposed pad lit)  i repeat the process several times and always the same!

I'm not sure if this led was lit, but the Emax definitely went into a crash. nothing worked when those caracters started to appear... I;m still not sure the problem has gone completely but it def helped.

disconnect scsi drive
boot emax
press MASTER, 9, 9

Secret Code is: 3 - 6 - 2- 9 - Enter

press 8

5 HD Error Correct

Allows investigation and change of the drive error
correction state. Should be set to ON after the
diagnostics are completed.



while in this mode you can also check ram/gram/panel etc in the other options

Do you have another zip drive to test?

Are you sure it's a SCSI Zip drive and not a parallel?

Yes, 
I've used it for several years! sometimes start and works fine but when restart the machine appear the rare characters and fail! then need to unplug and plug the flat cable of the analog board, restart the emax without scsi zip drive and boot normal!

I would suggest trying another zip drive ,

as all the problems seem to point to the actual drive or something worng with scsi controller.

did you preform any of the test procedures?
