Title: 1st time problems with EII - any help? No booting any more etc.
Post by: micromoog on January 17, 2010, 05:55:38 PM
now i had at the first time problems with my eii.

Description: What i have done until getting problems:
- i loaded some banks with sd into my eii (without problems)
- after finding the right set, i've connected midi to the machine (without problems)
- i jumped at the realtime-menu to set controllers  (still without problems)

- now all red-LEDs are on,  playing the sounds was still possible
- i pushed the buttons of the different areas, some LEDs went off
- now i tried to send an other bank from SD (...SD loops Error message: can't connect EII...)
- then there was a lot of shit at the eii display like "ยง#=?&%%"
- now i turned the power switch off

- after waiting a few minutues i tried to reboot the machine.
- now there is every time a high frequency sound like a starting CD_ROM or plane -> "uuuuuuuiiiiiii" after switching on (2 or 3 sec long, btw a nice space-fx sound :)) - vintage flash-units for old photo cameras have the same sound by reloading
- the floppy tries booting and hang up ,the current OS-version is shown at the display", it seems that the drives tries to load with a very slow,  "click-click-click.."
- then i tried both drives with different disks withot success.

anyone an idea to fix this problem - thx for help

solved the problem,
perhaps it depends on using MIDI while SD is also aktive!

After disconnecting the Midi-cable, all runs fine...
