I just got an Emax Plus Rev 1.0 HD with the SE upgrade. It's got a slim floppy compact flash SCSI drive installed. It can also take the traditional 3.5" floppies.

Does this mean I’ll need to track down a floppy disk with the Plus Rev 1.0 software on it in order to format other floppy disks? If I copy the OS 3.2 to the Emax it will erase and write over the (superior?) Plus Rev1.0 software with the older 3.2 software.  Or maybe I’ve got it wrong- is the 3.2 OS better than the Plus Rev1.0?
