EII+ Problems...

[PJ-GOTH]

do you suggest to try to program the Eproms again? which version do you suggest?
I saw that the working Emulator of my friend has the MAIN 2.1 and the Scanner 2.1.

Hi DOC. We've alredy write other epros: main 2.1 and scanner 2.1 and it does the same problem... 

We tried with the original eproms and it does the same problem... 

what do you think about it?

thanks again

The eproms didn't have to be 3.1 ?

I don't remember, iyts so far, now...

Somebody knows ?

Hi Doc.
Do you know if the MAIN EPROM of the EMulator II+ has to be specifical for the Emu II+?
In the emulator archive is write that the MAIN EPROM has to be specifical for the EII+ but in my EII+ is written Emulator II only...

Wait for your answer
thanks alot

I'll check the Eprom and Scanner versions in my EII and EII+ (which I've just got back from a friend). I'm pretty certain they're 2.1 and can boot from 3.1 or 3.1HD performance disks. I'll get back to you on this.

I think Dr C is right in saying that you may well have a problem with one of the memory IC's that are located in that bottom right hand corner of your EII as you look at the boards. (the white boxed area)

WITH THE MACHINE NOT CONNECTED TO THE MAINS. It's worth slowly and delicately re-seating and swapping around (the same type of IC) in that region (as Dr C says, keeping them in the right direction - the little cut out). It's worth spraying a little Isopropyl Alcohol in the IC socket too and allowing to dry. You may then find that the boot up process time starts to go beyond the 3 seconds it's currently taking and may even boot up ok, this will prove whether you have a dodgy memory IC. It's worked for me in the past. It may be that you'll need to source one or two of these IC's. Boot up is not dependent on all off them being absolutely perfect.

Good luck!
