Emax

Hi, see message 3359 and before. This question is quite a popular one...

In short:
- Try to find a DSDD floppy disk (720K in DOS)
- Make sure your PC has an internal floppy drive (not USB)

Option 1:
- Use EMX (MS DOS), EMXP (WinXP) or OmniFlop (WinXp) to format the disk 
for EMAX
- Download the OS from the files section or from www.emulatorarchive.com
- Write the OS to the floppy disk using EMX or EMXP.

Option 2:
- Download one of the CopyQM packages from the files section of this 
group
- Use this CopyQM (MS DOS) package to format & write the OS to the 
floppy disk

Hints:
- Do not run EMX or CopyQM from a Windows DOS box, it will make a 
corrupt disk ! You have to boot the PC in DOS (startup disk...)
- A lot of EMAX-I sampler floppy drives have a slightly different 
calibration compared to PC drives. EMX-formatted disks or disks 
formatted by EMXP using the *standard EMXP floppy driver* might not be 
recognized by EMAX-I samplers. Use CopyQM, EMXP with OmniFlop driver or 
OmniFlop software itself to format the disk if you want to avoid these 
problems.
