Emax

When I load bad disks it stops at three clicks then hangs.  It seems you may have corrupt OS on the floppies.  I get this from EMX made OS disks the most often.

Try every disk you have, try making one with EMX, and If you want a separate disk I can provide you with a copy of almost any OS disk for the Emax I for $25.

Good Luck.

  Hey, I know this thread is old, but I just wanted to ask you if I 
  should try this on my emax hd.  I've tried various floppy disk drives 
  on it but they all hang on the "loading software" screen while the 
  floppy drive led stays on forever... and yes, it does three little 
  ticks and then stops, but the light stays on.

  Let me know if you have any recommendations.

  Thanks
