Emax

dunno if you solved this or not....but...i had the same issue...and it was the os floppy causing the issue....

i made a boot floppy using exmp (downlopaded the o.s. file form the files section in here). worked fine, no error messages. I could boot the emax with it..however it would not format zip disks. Also some of the menu selections did not work...giving a wrong os version or something like that, for example the bird run did not work.

i got someone to make me a boot floppy from their emax..and now everything works fine!!! 

so if you make boot floppy using exmp, and get error messages or are unable to format a zip disk....check if the bird run works....if it doesnt it means your o.s. disk is probably the issue

hope this helps for someone in the future...
