Emax

Hi,
Your Emax might have lost a setting in the EEPROM, which controls software
release compatibility (e.g. refusing to load an SE OS when its not been
officially upgraded.) . IF it is this problem, then buy another 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?
