Emax

Ed... No problem... I've put my EMAX-I zip stuff on hold a few weeks 
ago because I wanted to finish version 1.92 of EMXP. Which will be 
released at the end of this week. It looks stable now, e.g. no lost 
data on ZIP disks anymore, quite stable EMAX-1 <--> EMAX-2 <--> WAV 
conversion features and 100% support for the more reliable OmniFlop 
floppy driver. But v1.92 will still only support ZIP disks for EMAX-
II, not EMAX-I...

I've sent you a small testprogram a few weeks ago that should be able 
to select banks from your EMAX-HD zip disk and convert them to EMX 
files on your PC harddisk. 
Next week I will make a similar testprogram that can write EMX files 
to your EMAX-HD/PLUS zip disk.

I will not post these small testprograms to the group because they're 
really for die-hard test purposes only. Sorry about that.

Final version of EMXP, including ZIP support for EMAX-HD/Plus will be 
released in september/october. Small chance that it will also have an 
AKAI S3000 import/export feature, but that's really a SMALL chance. 
After that release I will end my EMAX programming (and support) 
efforts, because I really have other things to do in my life :-)

Let me know when your e-mail works again.
