Re: Emax II - boot from Zip...?

Yes there is.

You can create an EMAX-II ZIP disk image with EMXP v2.02.
(using the "manage Emax HD/CD images"->"create new image" menu). After 
the 96 MB image-file has been created by EMXP, you can add an Emax-II 
OS to it (again with EMXP v2.02). OS files can be downloaded in this 
group or from the emulatorarchive website.

Then you have to copy the image to a ZIP disk (connected to your PC).
Again use EMXP for this :-) (via "restore" function)

One important note though !
The ZIP disk must have been formatted first in an "emax-compatible" way.
You don't need an EMAX to do that, but unfortunately my experience 
shows that simply formatting a ZIP disk on a Windows machine does not 
guarantee an EMAX-compatible ZIP disk.
I always format them first on an old Mac Classic. This format procedure 
seems to be compatible with Emax...
