Thank you for the info.  I suspected that if I had a
disk I could get past the boot-up problem.  The
strange thing is that it used to blow past the floppy
check and go to the hard drive to boot-up.  The
previous owner must have saved that choice into the
memory because it always booted without any floppy.
I'm wondering if the battery is getting weak and it
forgot the command to boot from the internal hard
disk.....I appreciate your offer to get a disk to me,
but I live in the United States in
Wisconsin,,,,,,,,,,,I don't know yet what my options
are to get a boot-up disk, but that's what's going to
bail me out.  
Thanks again,
Dave

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?)
Ron
