Emax

Thanks Herm,
Didn't want you to think I don't like to read or something.  When 
you select format it says "erases memory".  This COULD mean 
memory on the disk you are formatting, which made more sense 
to me, since other samplers I own of the same age don't loose 
internal memory when formatting a floppy.  Glad to know my 
machine is operating well.
Thnks again,
Peter
