Emax

Use the data slider to change the menu choices.
You have  an HD os if you hit master, then 0, then use data slider and  
see if you have copy hd (plus OS this is #0), format hd (this is #7)

So basically, write protect holes should be open (slider), density  
select (no slider for this hole) should be covered.
True DSDD disks will not have a density select hole.

Ted

The floppys i am using are the ones specified in the manual double

I was using the sliding write protect thing I will try taping off the  
other hole tonight thank you.

my OS disk said emax OS 1.1 but i am not sure that it is the HD 1.1  
because mine is an Emax HD retrofit.

When I go to master I am not able to select "Special" the sticker on  
the master section says "Special" is peremiter 10 but the Emax will  
not accept a second digit while in Master mode. That is what makes me  
think that the OS is not correct for the HD

I do not own a pc or a computer with a floppy drive.
Is there somewhere where i can purchase the HD 1.1 os on a floppy  
online ?

thank you for your help! im almost there!
