RE: Anyone install & boot Emax off an internal IDE Zip ?

2013-10-21 by sweetsynthchuck@...

a ide zip will not work on the floppy bus,

you would need those ripoff scsi/ide solutions.

what os is your emax currently running i Would have thought you should already be on a SE HD OS considering you have scsi on the rear panel?

I am having a hell of a time getting EMXP to work with my floppy drives on my PC
Errors and whatnot and I am trying to upgrade to the Plus OS so I can use its SCSI connector on the back
Anyway, I thought about burning the OS onto a Zip drive (My PC has a Zip drive)
then installing an IDE zip to replace the internal floppy in the Emax and simply booting and loading sounds that way.
Anyone tried this?
Keep thinking if I get this to function using zip disks I could just forgoe this floppy disk drive BS and be done with the hassles. Has anyone done this or
know if it can be done..same connectors as a floppy? I have seen it done with the HxC floppy emulator so don't see why it could not be done with a Zip drive.

Any help appreciated thanks
Cheers
