Dear Esynthesist
I installed your program on my Windows XP computer. Although I keep receiving the following message:
ERROR 87

What did I do wrong?

Thanks

  Hi guys,

  You can find a new file "emxp_v0_90_pub" in the files section.

  I was tired of booting my PC in MS-DOS to use EMX.
  So I created a new program EMXP (=EMX for XP) and an Emax Floppy Disk 
  Driver. 
  After installing the driver, you can use EMXP to read or create EMAX 
  disks * in Windows XP *.
  Formatting EMAX disks is not supported yet.

  Please read the README file before installing and using EMXP and the 
  driver.
  It works fine on my PC but I do not guarantee that it works on all XP 
  machines. 
  Using the software and the driver is completely at own risk ! 
  I'm not responsible for any damage or crashes caused by the driver 
  (and the program).

  Five important notes:
  - The software will not work with USB floppy drives, only generic 
  internal drives are supported.
  - The software is not compatible with Windows 3.1, 95, 98, Me and 
  probably 2000 and NT. Only XP is supported.
  - After you've installed the Emax Floppy Driver, you won't be able to 
  use 720K DSDD floppies anymore in Windows XP !!!!
    But I don't think that's a real problem because:
    * who uses these floppies anyway ? Only EMX(P) software does ... 
  and that works fine
    * the more common 1.44 MB floppies are still supported by the Emax 
  Floppy Driver ... (I think)
    * you can always replace the Emax Floppy Driver by the original 
  Microsoft Driver ...
  - The Emax Floppy Driver is based on the original Microsoft Driver 
  but with some minor changes for EMXP. The driver is not fully tested, 
  in fact I'm sure it contains bugs. But you won't see them as long as 
  you only use EMXP to access old 720K floppies.
  - The old EMX software by Mike Prudence will not work with the Emax 
  Floppy Driver. You have to use the new EMXP software.

  I hope this thing is useful for some of you. 
  But again: use is at own risk and please read the README file before 
  installing and using the software.
