Emax

Strange.
Error 87 does not mean that EMXP thinks the disk is not formatted well.
It means that it can't access drive J (e.g. because there's no disk in it). It's really a basic error code thrown by a windows C function which tries to open the drive ;)

What I see sometimes is that one memory card drive is seen by Windows as multiple drives, e.g. J, K, L and M. In that case only of those seems to work for EMXP. I never investigated this in full detail to be honest...
