  Since you seems to have managed to write your CF card (on the Baldwin itself I assume), the following is probably not important anymore for you.

  But anyway: errorcode 104 is returned when you try to write an individual Emax bank to a disk which is not *logically* formatted for Emax yet.

  That's why you have to generate an .EZ1 image first and copy (restore) it to the DOS formatted CF card (as I wrote in my initial reply).
  This .EZ1 image contains the file system of the Emax. By copying it to the DOS formatted CF card, the DOS FAT file system is overwritten by the Emax file system. Without this Emax file system, EMXP nor the Emax can save sound banks to the CF card.

  When you format the CF card in the Emax or Emax-II itself, the card is both physically and logically formatted. In that case the card is immediately ready for saving banks to it.

  FYI: Section 6.1 in the EMXP manual explains how to create Emax compatible CF cards with EMXP.
