hello,

i just got emuII(6018,dualfloppy,rev1), it wont load any other
floppies than boot disk and memory test. i ran memory test with
message: error at 2282C data: 73 s/b: 01 when trying load bank from 
floppy, machine freezes at the message "this may take a while", well 
i have waited hours.. so i think it´s a little bit relative here.

i also cannot sample more than 2 secs, the message "sample is 
good" (which makes me smile eveytime) appears and machine suddenly 
freezes. then i tried to make a bank with under 2 sec sample and it 
seems to save and load just great. 

it looks pretty clear to me i have to replace broken memory chip(s).. 
or is there something else i have not figured out yet?

thanks

This indeed looks like a memory problem.
The error message shows that 4 memory chips cause problems.
These are IC52, IC53, IC54 and IC57 on the main digital board (under 
the additional memory board).
It's a little bit strange that 4 chips on the same board row are 
damaged...

One of the known problems of the EII is ICs making bad contact/loose 
ICs.
Perhaps you can first push slightly on all memory ICs on the main 
board to make sure they are connected well...

thank you for help, i pushed all the loosy connected ic´s mentioned, 
that resolved memory problem. the first floppydrive still seems to 
behave strange, some disks have been corrupted after using it, this 
wont happen with other drive.. anyways, at least everything else 
seems to work! WOW, have to say it sounds even better i was 
excepting, very different that samplers i´ve used before.
