Re: [emax] Has anybody got an image of disk to upgrade from emax to emax se?

2008-07-25 by Dave Sotnick

They still are in the files section:

seup.em1
emaxutil.exe

I have also successfully turned an Emax I into an Emax SE using that
image and a PC running DOS.

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
