Emax

Thanks all,
I did use the Emaxutil prog. that Carsten upped to the files list 
from the DOS portal on my mums old windows 3.1 machine but to no 
avail - the drive was truelly repulsed by EMAX formatted disks and 
refused to write the SEUP.EM1 image to them.
Maybe my only solution is to make a FAT partition and use DOSboot 
disk here on my 2k station BUT the only thing Im wondering is 

1)do you have to install Win98/95 and if you do...
2)how would the PC know its in that partition if you have to reboot 
to DOS from Windows (my 2k machine boots into a menue that gives you 
a choice of what OS to boot up?) 

I will crack this mutha!!!

yours confusingly,
Luke
