Mike,

Still trying to get this E1 working:).  I attached a
pic of what I understood should be the correct disk
drive jumper settings.  Is this the same as what you
have?  Now the LED comes on and if the drive is empty
it makes a noise like its doing a disk seek.
Unfortunately once I put a disk in the drive nothing
happens, all the LEDs stay lit thats about it. All the
disks that I have/bought are from a 8Voice model.  I
bet I need a set of disks specific to the 4Voice.
