Emax

Hello
It looks like you need a emax-2 operating system ,on a floppydisk
(or did you already boot from floppy?)
my unit also displays some weird messages,when i power on,:
it says then,disk not formatted,please insert disk,disk not formatted.
...
but when i insert a emax2 OS disk everything is oke
(So i dont think your Emax is THAT faulthy)
You will need a:Emax-2 2.14 OS on a DS/DD disk
If you live in the netherlands ,i will send you a disk.
(or..where do you live?)
