Loading stops after 3 tracks

Post by Gundalf »

Hi,
I'm tyring to help a friend get a Gotek drive working for his Emax with the SE upgrade.
I have a phenomenon where the Emax starts reading a .hfe disk image and then suddenly stops after clicking/reading 3 reading tracks...at this time the Emax LCD also goes dark.
It seems to do this no matter which OS version I've tried to incorporate in the .hfe so far and I've used both the batch tool "Emax EB1 & EM1 to HFE v0.3" and the "EMXP_v3_11_1" software. I also tried running the Emax SE BIOS .hfe included in the QuickInstall_FloppyDiskImages but this also stops after 3 tracks.
I just upgraded from FlashFloppy to HxC but I had the same issue in FF too.
Has anyone had experience with a similar issue or have any clue if this would this be more likely a problem with the Emax than having to do with the Gotek?
The Gotek uses a SFRKC30.AT2 board and sadly only has the 32 kb memory onboard...could this be an issue here?
I'd be super grateful for any clues as to what I can try next :)

Best regards,

//Mikael
