Emax

Hi,
Sorry to pour cold water on this idea !! We too have the SE diskette, the
problem is that it can only be used to upgrade an Emax once. Once the Emax
EEPROM is updated the diskette is written to and the diskette becomes the
Development diskette not the Upgrade diskette. It has some nice samples on
it that use TM. We havent had any luck with disk2file either....

You need to reverse engineer the small upgrade application from the OS
diskette...and switch the bit back on that means its a new upgrade
diskette..trouble is finding a PC or Mac program that reads and writes to
ALL areas of the Emax formatted diskette. Thats why EMX is a bit
tricky...Now if someone copied a virgin SE diskette with EMX we might be in
business.....

E-mu don't have the ability to create more SE upgrade diskettes, and they
have not offically sanctioned the Emax diskettes on our web site
either....they just turn a blind eye.

We are liaising closely with the 1980's E-mu team and we hope to have a
solution to the SE upgrade and many other E-nmu gotchas early next year once
international travelling becomes less risky ....

Regards

Rob

  wow! excellent news, if you have it!!

  please do!

  Basically, if we can get hold of this disk, and find a
  way to image the whole thing (disk2file) then we have
  a way for everyone on the net to upgrade their emax
  properly to an SE!!!! I'm sure E-mu wouldn't mind
  people doing this, seeing as they have already given
  away their old emax sample library....
