Thanks Rob
E2 mainboot is2.1dm
And there is another one with sticker on it (e2  3.0scanner
my serial nr is 2497
The 422port is right on the digi board
Do I have to lose the whole board to check the connections?
By the way, I would like to put in a 3.5 floppy but mine is a single 
drive.
I have located that there is a second cable there.would it be any 
problems?The problems might be to find a new front panel to my 
5 1/4drive ,
thanks for now

cheers Jonas.

PS: i have made a cdrom for the EIII with the orinal sounds from 
my sci studio 440.would you like to test it and give me your 
opinion.ds
