Re: EMAX 'DATA CRC ERROR' when trying to copy software/format disk

2008-09-04 by th3b4r0n

Thanks for your reply. I have been trying to copy the software in the 
normal way but the EMAX just can't read it properly. I think the disk 
must be broken. I have noticed today that sometimes the screen 
display goes crazy displaying wierd charachters when I'm trying to 
access different modules whilst running OS SE1.1. Perhaps I should 
try and upgrade it again? Looks like it's bye bye to the beat I just 
made! lol!

I sure hope I haven't broken it!....
