Re: [emax] EMAX 2 MONO OPERATING SYSTEM DISK

2015-06-30 by Spencer Clark

Hey, it boots with a emax sound sample disk ...  i erase the disk and add my own samples...the OS system is not written on the disk... but it reads: 
| Model 2203 | 1Mb Keyboard (w/HD) |

  thats how i found out it was Mono..
thanks again,spencer.      From: "Ted Summers djtbs1@gmail.com [emax]" <emax@yahoogroups.com>

    So it's booting from the Hard Disk, which has an OS on it.What version is on the Hard Disk itself?
All I can tell you is I had an Emax 2 that was MONO and 1MB, and I was able to boot with 2.14 if I recall correctly.

     Thanks Ted, but the system just boots on its own, not from a disk... the disks that came with it work, i have been erasing the samples on them and adding my own. i tired to format one of the disks with the 2.14 and now it wont work and read:  "Difficult REv Error" or something to that effect... I thought i read somewhere that 2.0 OS systems dont work with Mono Emax 2?
Any more help is welcoem...

    No- OS 2.14 is the latest, and if your Emax 2 boots from it, you should be able to use it to format new disks.It doesn't matter whether Emax 2 is Mono or Stereo, 1M up to 8M- the OS 2.14 should work with it.

However- you MUST use DSDD disks.If you are going to the store and buying HD disks, they won't work.You will get errors when you try and format.

Hello Emax forum... I have an Emax 2 Mono... I dont have an operating system disk...  and I am running out of disks to sample on... In order to format disks i need a source disk.. this is the Operating System Disk , Correct?  I got an Operating System disk 2.14, but it seems to be the wrong one.  Do I need a 1.0 OS Disk in order to format disks for sampling?
Thanks so much,
