Emax

Well, it loads the factory disks just fine, every bit perfectly (yes, I've
gone through every single preset on the disks...).  It's just when I format
a disk.. it's VERY consistent in how it doesn't work, so I doubt that it's
just dirty.

Example:  I'll format an Emu disk, which previously worked (I know, I
know... I just wanted to see if I just had a load of crappy disks), but when
formatted it STOPS working.

I'm not even using a PC, so the virus thing isn't really possible.

I don't know.

Any other ideas?
