Title: Emu IIIXP Boot up... SCSI 2... SCSI 2... SCSI 2... SCSI 2...

Hi,

My XP's getting stuck on boot up, goes through the checks, gets stuck on SCSI 2. Goes round again, SCSI 2, etc etc.
None of the panel controls make a difference.
Does this whether the OS floppy is in or out - is this what I think it is?
OS floppy death?

Thoughts?

Mark.

this happened to me then after a few months i realized the floppy power cable was not making a solid connection so i re-seated it and it was fine. if this doesn't work you can try a pc floppy drive using http://eiiiforum.com/index.php?topic=73.msg405#msg405

Excellent stuff, edude!

Can't wait to get back & try this out!
I've never taken my IIXP apart before, any tips on how to do it without damaging anything?

Cheers...

Mark

sure, take the screws out and don't damage anything :p

also take note of the polarity of the cable attached to the audio board if you remove it  :o
