Hi! Is it possible to boot emax + hd without connecting floppy drive or gotek? I?ve installed scsi2sd, and it works perfectly, but emax hangs on diagnostics when i disconnect fdd. I dont want to put the fdd inside simply to bypass this startup test...

Regards,
Kirill

Hello Kirill,

Did you solve this issue?

I read somewhere the SCSI ID of the images on the SD card should not be using ID = 7 is this is the SCSI-controllers ID.

Cheers,
Thomas

Yes, you need to shorten pins 25-26 on floppy connecter and emax will boot without floppy drive seek.
