If you power on cold & boot the Emax and it says NO OS, insert Disk!then chances are you just need an OS disk to boot it and once its bootedyou can check the rest of the machine out to see if its OK elsewhere.If I can make a floppythat will boot my soon to be arriving SE 1000 via Omniflop then assuredly it willboot yours as well as long as your FDD is good.I'll let you know and if it does workthen assuredly, I can make an FDD for you tooand I will ship it off to you in europe.No worries about customs forms, we fill them out all daylong here at my day jobCheersGreg

Hi, and thanks for the offer! And I totally agree with you - I am no fan of the FDD and all the floppy-hassle, believe me. I seriously concider in just throw it out and go with the HxC. The only concern I have is that I dont know if the EMAX I have is ok otherwise (faulty internal HDD, and prob FDD) as I found it at the recycling station. So I hesitate a bit in investing 100 euro in a mashine that I dont know the status on.
But worst case, there are probably enough people out there in need of a HxC and EMAX parts, for me to recollect the 100 Euros. ;)
I guess you soon will see me starting a new thread regarding HxC installation and management...

he said london canada so he is in canada not
europe
as for customs there is not any on a value less
than £20 in uk and $20 us
a floppy disk is £1` about 2 mins work its more
todo with postage than anything else
also many problems is from mis aligned heads you
could save load format a disk on a old floppy drive give it to some one else and
it wont boot
as me and ted do ours on brand new slim floppy
drives the heads are aligned
but it would be cheaper postage wise as a
intenational letter will cost about £8 uk to canada
but its really easy to make floppies been doing it
for years with emxp
i dont understand all the problems people have its
easy its allk in the emxp documentation it works period
the worst trhing apple ever did was drop floppy
support might not be good for new stuff but there is a heck of a lot of stuff
still using floppies
