Emax

If you have an older PC, a blank 800k floppy, and about a half hour you can create an EmaxII boot floppy by going to the files section and down load the files in the folder "CopyQm & ZD777 image Emax II 2.14" Folloe the directions closely as it will require you to exit to the DOS prompt and work from there. I believe that it has got a few people up and running. Obviously it won't help if the floppy drive is bad or support controller chip.
Good luck,
Skip

  Ok I dont have any EMAX II OS floppy disks. I have a bunch of Emax I 
  disks so that could be a problem first of all.

  I tried the format with EMX program with 2DD and 2HD disks but wont 
  format.

  If there is anyone who could send floppies EMX II formatted or any 
  further information I would compensate financially for any costs 
  incurred. 


  If to get at the LCD is not an easy task I assume so any help there 
  would be appreciated.

  One final Comment is that you guys are awesome and I hope to able 
  help some new people as much as you have already helped me. I feel 
  my sanity slowly coming back to me.

  Thank You

  Fergal
