Just discovered what you already know..

2007-07-12 by Karl M

I'm the quintessential noob, and just found this online resource..

http://www.seib.synth.net/emax/banks.htm

E-mu Systems Factory Sample Library for the Emax

The Emax banks are in zipped EMX format for the PC. This means the
Emax sample diskette has been converted on a PC to a special EMX
format, which has then been compressed as a ZIP file.To use these
sample downloads, you need a copy of the EMX program for the PC. It is
a DOS program which will runs ok in Windows 95/98 (DOS mode, not DOS
window). [HS: and no, it won't run correctly under XP! It really got
to be DOS! If you haven't got a PC that's old enough, check out
FreeDOS.] It will create Emax I and II diskettes by writing the
unzipped files to a blank diskette in your PC diskette drive. It also
read Emax I and II OS and sample diskettes, and write them to your
hard drive.

..................

There's also a lot of related info in the FILES section here..  It's
VERY cool that my W98 PC should be able to create an EMAX readable
floppy..  and I found and downloaded a .zip file with the very sounds
I was seeking, in case Dave's method fails.  And of course this would
be an opportunity to add to my collection of EMAX sounds.

is there a general guideline to using these utilities?  a README of
some sort?

thanks,

Karl
