Re: [emax] emx for mac os 9

I don't think it works with floppies - at least not with the Esynth.

The import options are normally only with SCSI.

  Hello,

  The Idea was great !
  I just took a Emax II 16 bits floppy bank, and tried to read it on 
  the E4xt,
  but it says "unknown file type" did i missed something ?
  Thanks in advance
