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

2008-07-28 by esynthesist

If you have access to a Windows XP/Vista PC with floppy drive, then 
you can also use the file EmaxSEUpgrade.zip in the files section.
Use OmniFlop to write the unzipped file to an Emax formatted floppy 
disk.
I created this diskimage from a disk which was originally created 
with the seup.em1 and emaxutil files on a DOS pc.
