Emax SE with no O.S. diskettes

2006-11-26 by harrioj

I just picked up an Emax SE with no diskettes. I am so very anxious 
to see what this thing sounds like but can't right now. I am getting 
good signs that it's working okay. It looks really good and it 
displays the "Insert a Disk" message each time I turn is on. I made 
several attempts to download the O.S. from the internet onto a DSDD 
floppy but and load it but the Emax SE would not load it. It did 
display "System is Loading" message and played a continous clicking 
sound like it was loading but no success.

So yesterday I ordered a couple of diskettes from Kid Nepro. But I 
was told that I might be in for a long wait. That will definitely be 
painful.

Can someone tell me a speedier way to get up and running at least to 
explore some sounds? I have been reading that I will need a real 
system formatted disk before I can really do a whole lot. I am just 
checking to see if there is an express way to get a system disk. I am 
army and stationed in Northern Italy but we have a US Army post 
office here and it operates pretty much the same as any other U.S. 
post office. We just don't get the overnighter luxury, but Priority 
(air) mail works pretty okay. Kid Nepro does not do Priority mail so 
I am looking for something swifter. 

I got a feeling this forum is going to get me squared away. Thanks in 
advance.
