Hi all

I have an E4K (keyboard) and to be honest have not turned it on for about 2 years :(

It was working fine back then if I recall correctly.

But last night I turned it on and it made a clicking sound - possibly from the floppy drive. A message is displayed on the display - sadly I forgot to make a note of what it said...something like a "checksum error"?

(If necc - I will post the full error message when I get home tonight)

Basically I read somewhere (maybe not this forum) awhile ago about just needing to reinstall the EOS. Of course I can't remember whether it has a 1MB or a 2MB ROM.

I am guessing I can't screw it up much more if I just reinstall the EOS 2.8 from the floppy created from the file from the EMU website...?

Sorry if that sounds all backward - but I read that trying to install EOS 4.xx on a product that only has the 1MB ROM may 'physically' damage it?

So I'll try the EOS 2.8 - am guessing that I just stick the disk in and turn the unit on...?

Any comments or pointers to previous posts appreciated.

Thanks.

Looks like I may have resolved this...

Anyhow - I download the "flash prep" and "EOS 2.8" from the Files section of this website. The hardest part was finding blank floppies!!

As the error message mentoned a "corrupt Flash version" I guessed I could not screw it up any more!

So I ran the FlashPrep and then it asked for an EOS floppy - so I stuck in the EOS 2.8 and after about 5 minutes... I was back in business again!

Should have tried that first off!
