Could anybody send me an OS disk/Help troubleshooting

2005-12-18 by thligrdd

Hey, I just got an Emax II (2215 - 4MB rack, no HD), but I haven't
been able to use it yet because it didn't come with any disks. I have
tried to use EMX and copyQM under DOS (6.21 and 7.0), the latter of
which I am familiar with because it also works with the Korg DSS-1
(which I also have). Every time I try to load a disk (DSDD, brand new
from route 66), it either says "Disk Error!" or "Floppy Not Formatted!". 

Now, I have been having trouble with my PC (or possibly the media)
having a high failure rate when it comes to copying disk images - I
don't think it's my PC's drive, I've tried 4 different drives as well
as a few different ribbon cables - the floppy controller on my MB
might be faulty or something though. 

However, I have also tried to copy images on another PC entirely, also
with no luck. I'm starting to think the drive on the Emax II might be
bad, but I'd like to get a known, working disk just to be sure. I'd be
happy to pay $5.00 or so for postage and the trouble, paypal
preferably but if you'd prefer I mail it to you I can do that as well. 

Alternately, if anybody has any ideas/advice that might help, I'm all
ears! :)
