Emax

You won't be able to swap out CF cards like you are describing. That  
is why I sell a floppy converter.
So you still have a slim floppy to boot, format, etc.
Especially in event of trouble.
But don't need the floppy most of the time.

I don't know why people didn't go to the link I sent with the PICS of  
it in my posts, or read my previous post where I describe this, but  
here the link is again:

So one would need to keep the floppy drive in so as to load up the OS  
into the machine just for the first CF card format; after that you can  
swap the CF card while the machine is booted in order to format and  
copy the OS to the next CF card once that one is full? Or can you not  
take out the CF card when the machine is on?

point I realized that formatting the drive in the machine copies the  
OS to it and makes it bootable (EMXP recognized the OS). If I would  
have just changed my SCSI boot device that round and rebooted the EMAX  
I would have been booting from the CF card. I have an EMAX II in case  
you're wondering.

how do you get the operating system onto the CF card and also format  
it? Cheers
