emulatorII-list

Having fixed the PSU and the short on the output board, I was rather hoping to have a working EII. Unfortunately this was a somewhat optimistic assumption!

On power up, the LCD reads "**Emulator 2** Boot in progress", followed a few second later by "Insert Diskette". Inserting a disk gives "Software Rev 3.1", followed by "This will take a while". The disk drive clicks for about 30 seconds, but booting never finishes. It either freezes at "This will take a while" or seemingly reboots and reverts to "**Emulator 2** Boot in progress", repeating the whole process until I switch it off.

I have about 50 disks and have tried maybe 20. I have also tried both drives, with the same results. Suspecting it could be a RAM problem, I swapped the ICs from the memory upgrade board to the digital board, again with no change in the outcome. Any ideas?
