I doubt it ever worked. �I would say less than 

50% of�EII units are ever working right out

of the shipping box. � One out of 6 for me in 10 years.

Half of the sellers said it worked 100% too. �EII sellers

tend to be a lying bunch I've learned unless they�

have a track record of owning and selling classic Emu samplers.

They try to offload them to newbs who will pay big bucks for them.

and it needs service. �Find an Emu tech in your city and become his�

Good luck. � � �

Thanks for the response.
Yes, same thing when I insert in other drive.
Also if I power up with a disk inside the LED says that it's booting the OS but nothing ever happens.
ebay seller insists all worked fine prior to shipping and has been very helpful in trouble shooting but I think I am at an impasse.

Other than being old, is the low serial # a really bad thing?

thx

That's a pretty low serial number you have :-)
Congratulations with the purchase.

What happens when you insert the disk in the other drive ?
The same thing ?
