Re: [emax] Re: Emax SE disk? Can someone mail me one?

E-man,
  I beleive you are right. A disk that I came across had OS 3.2 on it. I continued the effort of properly downloading the SE 1.1 and have just about succeeded. I say just about because after I copied OS SE 1.1 to the boot disk, it boots fine and all but whren I try to load the sequence on the disk it will not play it and before. Instead I get the messagge "Wait a Moment" and nothing happens. I have to reboot to unlock it.
   
  I will try loading the O.S. Plus and see what happens.
   
  Thanks  E-man.

Elmacaco,
You are right. There is no wide SCSI connector present. So this unit does not have SCSI interface. So I only need to upgrade from Emax 3.2 to SE. Unfortunately, I can't seem to get the SE upgrade file to work. I must be doing something wrong.
I have DOS 5.xx and have downloaded both EMAX and EMAXUTIL loaded them both on the DOS box. I have downloaded SEUP.EM1 and successfully wrote to a floppy format in the EMAX DOS program. I have done everything step by step, but when I boot the disk on the EMAX machine itself, nothing happens. I'm missing something.

the regular emax has a small blue connector that isn't scsi but some rs-232 connector or something, If you have a wide scsi connector on it then I'd love to see a pic.

This list's files sectionn has everything you need to make a plus OS disk. Thanks to E synthesist!!!

Peter,
Yes. I need a copy. I just scored an SE rack with the blue SCSI 
connector on the back. I believe the Plus OS would be required at 
some point before I could use the SCSI features.
I'm not sure if it has the most current SE update loaded or not. If 
not , I have to keep trying to update it via the seup.em1 file. So 
far, I have tried evrything with no luck to upgrade to SE.
Do I pay you via PAYPAL?
