Emax

The error you receive (104/4) is normal, because there is no valid bank on the floppy disk yet. The disk is still only "low level" formatted and containing only an OS, not a bank.

When going into EMXP menu sequence 1->7->1 ("manage banks on floppy disk") you want to get access to banks, but they are not available yet on the disk (=subcode 4).

Just like you copied the OS to the disk - where you had to go to menu 1->4->1 to select first the OS file and only thereafter selected where you wanted to copy the OS to - you now have to go to the EMX files via 1->2->3 to select the EMX file you want to copy to the floppy disk. 

(Note that you will need .EM1 files (=so called emx-files), not .EB1 files (=so called bank-files). If you don't have the .EM1 version of the banks yet, first convert the .EB1 files to .EM1 files via menu 1->1->1)

Good luck
