Re: [emax] Need help with Emax 1 keyboard..Please!!!

2002-10-08 by Orlando Concepcion

Unfortunately it doesn't give either of those errors.  It says insert disk, 
I insert one and the clicking/blinking begins.  I had lots of problems 
creating the OS disk, since I run Win 98, but I eventually got one to write 
through DOS.  Could this be the problem?  Is it impossible to make an OS 
disk w/Windows?  IF necessary, which (model)floppy drives are compatible for 
replacements?
Thanks for the help!
