Posted: Sun Apr 29, 2007 6:58 amOnce upon the time in the heart of the ancient Europe, there was a happy composer and his favourite tool was an E-4XT ultra
with RFX card, 128 Mo RAM -Eos 4.7 and the complete EMU's sound library.... Next cloud was close to heaven.
But the Gods observing he was too proud of it all, decided to offer him a humility lesson,,,
The 4XT-Ultra collapsed with a blank display and a few lights lit on the front panel,,,, it was sent to a German
specialist who kept it about 8 months.
Not locating the origin of the disaster, he replaced the board with a 64000 model one,
according to his checking the unit did work so he sent it back to the already depressed musician
who felt the light of excitement again just a few seconds before switching the power on....
Life is just illusion..... he thought..... when he saw the same blank display and those few frozen lights on the front panel.
At the edge of despair acceptation to become a bit humble, the musician bought an E-IV with 40Mo ram and EOS 1.03....no HD inside.
Back to the stone age he decided to install an internal 4 Go scsi HD but the 1.03 system only recognises 64 Mo...and the info button shows that the 64 Mo HD is full ....
To update the EOS was a necessity so after downloading the 3.0 and 4.1 EOS system only the 4.1 floppy was booting the machine properly and flashing the memory as well but at the next stat the unit offered the same blank screen again....
the only chance to making it boot properly was to install again the EOS 1.03 in the flash ram
As the EOS 3.0 floppy I prepared isn't booting the machine, Now I wonder
1 Can I use the 4 XT-Ultra Flash ram on the E-IV unit.?
2 How to prepare a booting EOS 3.0 floppy ?
3 Is there a place in the universe where I can find back my peace of heart and mind?
Thank you for reading the story and for the eventual help you might bring to the desperado composer.
