Thanks.

My Emax shows EmaxSE HD Rev1.1 in 'Special'.

Wondering if 16 or 32 bit PCMCIA cards has anything to do with it?

What brand card read you all using?

I had to format the floppy in the actual emax first, and then install the SE upgrade (with omniflop) followed by the 'plus' OS (using EMX) onto the emax-formatted floppies.  Someone said something on here about how the floppy drives in the old emaxes can go out of spec; this is what happened.
