Emax

That's cool.  I'm not trying to sell emax floppies, but if you want one from me, it takes $25 to get me to make it and get to the post office, it's not like I have stacks of DD's disks around.  I've helped a few people out in the past with them and it's usually when they can't get them any other way.  That's why I suggested everything else first.  If someone else will do it for free or cheaper it's no sweat of my balls.

  Thanks, but eventhough I've spent more than $25 in time just trying to fix 
  this, paying $25 bucks for those floppies just feels wrong.... especially 
  when I don't know if that's the problem, because I've tried so many 
  different things already.

  I just went down to my co-op's coupter lab where they have an old 233mhz 
  computer and emx'ed 6 floppies but none worked.
