Emax

Are you sure you are running your PC in NATIVE DOS ? E.g. by starting 
the PC with an MS DOS startup disk ?
EMX does not work in a DOS terminal started from Windows 98.

Did you format the disks on your EMAX 2 first ? DOS-formatted disks 
don't work with EMAX 2, and EMX formatted disks could cause problems 
(some incompatibilities have been reported, mainly for EMAX-1 though)
