Re: [emax] Re: Emax SE with no O.S. diskettes

2006-11-28 by Jip Harrio

E-Synthesist,
      No I didn't try it because I don't run XP. I am still running ME (lol). I have decided to wait on a real Emax disk. I have already pulled enough hair. I really appreciate the tips. I should be getting a couple of disks within the next week or two.
   
  Thanks,
  Reggie

          Hi Reggie,

Just for my information: did you try EMXP with the OmniFlop-floppy 
driver on Windows XP ?
I ask this because I notice some people still seem to be desperate to 
create a bootable disk for Emax. 

EMXP and OmniFlop have been specifically been tuned to create Emax-
compatible disks in WinXP, but if there are still some emax-fans out 
there having trouble with EMXP/OmniFLop formatted disks, we (me & the 
Omniflop-guy) can go on with our search to find the right format-
parameters.
The current version has already been used succesfully by some emax-
users, but maybe some further finetuning can even reach a larger 
userbase.

Anyone still having trouble with EMXP/OmniFlop-formatted disks: feel 
free to send me an e-mail...
