Re: [emax] Re: Emax SE HD OS problem

2006-04-27 by Marco Barcena

I've actually tried making the disks on other older computers... I guess 
they weren't old enough.

The only thing left to do is order an emax hd-made OS from somebody and see 
if that works.

Just out of curiosity: how many people have managed to make OS disks on 
modern/fast computers under DOS 6.22 or EMXP?
