Emax

Bascially it is an exclamation dialog

and Unknown Disc Format Error box.

that says

"unknown error processing message C0000014 Parameters 75b6bf7c 75b6bf7c "

This all happened before I removed the OmniFdd.sys driver and rolled

back to the standard windows FDD controller

Omniflop had problems with it too. I then went into OmniFlop and formatted

a floppy within it, after rolling back the OmniFdd Floppy Controller Driver

and I did get OmniFlop to actually see the floppy and format it.

I did a 'test installation' using OmniFlop and got a message reading drive good and it "supports 281 predefined formats yada yada"

I then did a 'Format Write routine using the Plus OS disk as the source

and it did go through the routine and Formatted as well as wrote the disk.

I then did a 'test disk' diagnostic with OmniFlop and it tested out ok

"format Recongnized"

I then placed it into the Emax I HD Fdd and cold booted

and it says "disk not formatted!"

So, hell, I don't know...lets start from scratch here, maybe I will try it you way, Ted

You would have to put it in the group files, or in your mail provide a link to the picture.

esynthesist is a member on the group and is the developer of EMXP and you can contact him directly through his website also…

With that said- I have never tried formatting a floppy with EMXP.

Usually I format a floppy on the EMAX, then use EMXUTIL or EMX (or EMXP) to write the OS file to the already formatted disk.

Have you tried that?
