emulatorII-list

hi paul,

1st you must disconnect the powersupply from the mainboard to check it for
shortcuts.
the emulator has a switching power supply with a protection circuit, this
means the powersupply
don´t work if there is a shortcut on the eII mainboard. check between
"ground" and the +5v pin,
with an "ohm meter" (i don´t know the right word in english, sorry), if you
get "0 ohms" or "10-20 ohms" you have a bigger problem, the emulator have a
shortcut on the mainboard !!!!

if not ,it´s easy to use a standart pc powersupply in the emulator,you can
,with a little technical background, change it by youself.
i have added to this mail the schematics from the eII powersupply. other
informations are availible
from "www.emulatorarchives.com) - a very nice page !!

hope this will help you

Betreff: [emulatorII-list] Dead E2


Hello All,

I've just bought a dead EII with some library and OS3.1 (if it works).

I was told by the previous owner that he plugged a CD-ROM unit into
the RS interface and the whole thing blew.  I've checked fuses etc
which all appear OK.  Kinda guessing I need a replacement PSU !!

Thing is... where do you get one ?  also have three broken keys - Any
ideas ?

Cheers for any help
Paul

Hi,
Call E-mu service centres for spare keys. Anything but a top C should be
easy to locate, top C's are worth big money ($20+) as they are the ones that
break and there is only one in a junk EII. One web site has promised to make
EII keys but nothing  has showed up yet....

I may be able to source keys (not top C) from the UK but it will take me a
bit of time...

Regards
Rob

                 Hello from Route 66 Studios, We started to look into MFG the 
High "C" keys but most of the Injection mold company's we were working with 
wanted in the upper $5000 just for the mold,. We have been working with a new 
process called plastic machining, we can make the keys all day long but it's 
been vary hard to put a smooth finish on the key like the originals. We are 
now looking into a few other company's and ideas, will keep the list posted 
or go to: www.Route66studios.com
Richard Walsh Owner Route 66 Studios

Firstly thanks for the advice re: power supply and keys.

The faulty keys are a C, B & yep you guessed it right... the Top C.
If anyone does come across any please shout - otherwise I'll wait for 
Route66 to produce their copies.

With regards to the power supply...  Phillip, are you saying that I 
need to measure the resistance (you mentioned ohms as opposed 
to voltage) between the 0 and 5v wires that come out of the power 
supply, i.e. I get a multimeter and attach one cable to the 0v wire 
and the other to the 5v wire and read off the display ?

Is there a way I can isolate the main board from the power supply and 
see if the disk drives power up ?

If it comes to fitting a PC power unit, is their a standard to these, 
i.e. the yello wire is x volts whereas the red is y volts etc ?

Sorry to seem a bit thick but I'm grateful for your help

Regards
Paul
