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

2008-07-28 by sequentialprophett8

Any chance anyone is willing to make a floppy disk copy of this SE 
upgrade software, for those of us not able to get a PC to run in pure 
DOS mode?  Willing to pay $$ via Paypal (or other form), just name 
the price.  Thanks!
