Emax

ok makes sense to me, i'm going to find a friend with winxp and try
this ot this week, just wondering though, after i format with omniflop
do i still need to boot emx in dos 6.22 or lower b/c i am having a
hell of a time getting that to work with only 1 disk drive... once you
boot into dos, emx won't be able to write to the EMAX boot disk with a
2nd disk drive to carry the source file... also, it seems that dos
6.22 often won't read the fat32 files... ack... will try this week,
have been working on getting a PLUS boot disk together, would be much
easier if there was a copyQM image of it out there but alas, will have
to make it myself it seems... thanks for the info,
~AJB
