Hi E2 users... I'm Nicola from Italy... i'm trying to take back to life a old emuII that seems to be not very healty... I mean... i've bought it as "broken" and it was missing the OS too, so as soon as i gpt a copy of the latest OS disk, i went to test it. It was working, even if the LCD is quite totally faded away. Anyway, it was working, i've cleaned it all, eack key, eack pot, and pressed each chip in its socket, done some test againg...sampling and palyback... found that the 5th voice is out of order, anyway, i was having fun sampling and sampling when it started to crash, totally blocked. So after some turn off/turn on, the boot is hanging... sometimes i get "boot in progress", sometime "insert floppy", sometimes the display is fading up and down slowly and sometimes some red leds keeps on. Now, maybe i'm wrong but it sound to me like a boot rom failure or a PSU failure. So, now i'm testing the psu out, but i would also like to burn a copy of teh latest boot rom, as i have acces to a boot programmer i need just the binary image file... the Scan rom is a 3.0, the boot is unknow cause there is no label on it, the serial of my machine is unknown too cause the serial label is missing too... but i can tell you the serial of the Digital Board (rev1 serial#1749) and the Output Board (May 1984 serial#1570)...also...there is a number wrote with a marker inside the case of the eII... i think that it shuld be its serial and it's #5796. So... hope that someone here could help me out as i really would like to give this old baby a new life. Ciao ciao... .kruz PS: check my SP1200 pictures of Rob's website!!! ;)
