Emax

Hello,

Use regular hd floppy disk, place a sticker to cover the hole on the top
left corner (this one is used by the drive to determine whether disk is
hd or dd as the another to write enabled/disbaled). In that way you can
force your drive to work in dd format. It won't damage it - sometimes
you can read such a warnings, but believe me - the only danger is less
safety data storage, cause of magnetic differences between hd and dd
floppies. But I've never encountered this anyway - I use korg dss1 old
sampler cheating its drive in similar way for last 3 years and emax II
for last 6 months. 

Use copyqm program to transfer OS from download section in this group to
your "prepared" hd floppy. You have to make a dos boot disk cause copyqm
doesn't work with windows. It's a bit frustrating process - but at the
and you'll get a fully working OS disk for your emax. I made it this way
too. No fake :) read the copyqm manual first.

Good luck
Paul

P.s. 

Don't use EMX - I spend few nights trying to force it to work properly
... 
Copyqm is robust.

Amber,
Did you make sure the disk is an "old-style" lower
capacity disk?
It's got to be one of the old 720mb issues. 
They're getting hard to find, but you can buy them on
the "ROUTE 66" website. 
The high density disks won't work with Emax
II.............

---------------------------------

I just bought an Emax II that didn't come with a boot
disk.  I have 
some DS/DD disks, and I downloaded the OS files to one
of those disks 
& attempted to run it, only to be told that the disk
wasn't 
formatted.  How do I go about formatting a disk for
use with the EII?
