Emax

Holy Cow...it work fine for my EMAX II.

I was having trouble that the EMAX wouldn't format a CF card, nor SD/Adapter Card, but I did this selecting the EMAX II image and OS and it worked perfectly, thank you, finally I can use all the sound banks here and not my dinky floppies.

One more questions....How can I get the emax to boot from this too?

Thank you all for the help, and bringing back the Emax to life.

I bought one of the SCSI CF/SD card writers from TED Summers and mounted it in my EMAX II and it works great. There is a SD pc card adapter you have to buy, but it cost like 6 dollars off ebay.
