Emax

>>This has been covered b4 probably but i just noticed the seup file  
is 800kb and i thought emax's only formatted to standard 720kb?

The file works when the disk is created with Emaxutil. That is all I  
can say.

  >> how do i create a dos6.22 boot disk on floppy from windows vista?

I just do it, I can't explain it. It has never been difficult for me.

 >>(ive tried it on cd and it says driver missing). Is it the whole  
fat32 ntfs thing?

to make a bootable dos CD you have to load in a CD driver into  
config.sys and autoexec.bat

It can be a pain to make one , but can be done.

CDs are not ntfs or fat32, there are a different type (High Sierra FS  
or Rockridge or something like that).

 >>Other question is which floppy drives can you use in the emax.
I think i might have to make some jumper adjustments or even
cut the cable and do a bit of swapping. Ive read that the sony mpf920  
works and the other question is... which one (mpf920-e -f z/121)

The jumpers on the model I had were SMT, so had to be soldered. And  
they changed the board after that rev, so I dunno if you can still do  
that mod.

But you should be able to modify a floppy cable by matching Schugart  
floppy pinouts to PC floppy pinouts, cut some of the wires in the  
ribbon and cross wire as needed.

It will leave a gap, but it is what it is.

Or if you have an internal SCSI Zip or CF you can get a slim floppy  
and one of my converters.

 >>Once youve made the switch can you use hd disks?

You still need to cover the hole, but I have never had any problem  
with my slim floppy drives and HD disks for samples.
