Emax

Hi Piers

You should be able to find the Emax II OS in the files section of this group. With this image, you should be able write to a floppy using EMXP. Which is a free download utility from http://www.emxp.net/
The software requires a windows machine with a floppy drive.
the 2213 is a basic 2mb Rack model (unless it has been expanded)

hope this helps

Simon
