Tried HDDD disks and formatted them in my Emax fine. The DSDD disks are a little more rare. Found one here at work and used another XP machine here with OmniFlop and EMXP installed on it and formatted the disk and installed Is Plus using OmniFlop and according to OmniFlop it 'took' just fine.

I Ran a test of the disk Using EMXP on same computer and it gives me

Error 89! Not an Emax disk!

Same error, different machine but the issue is the same no matter what disk I use, or what PC I format the disks (using OmniFlop on)

EMXP just gives the same error 89!

And NOT just with floppies

While the Emax can read its own formatted disks and OmniFlop say disk format and is install fine (with DSDD disks only)

EMXP cannot write to ANY disk I give it

IE: I use a CF card attached to the computer

EMXP won't see it as a EMAX usable disc and won't format it.

Same goes with an internal IDE ZIP disk-EMXP Won't see it as usable and won't work with it.

Mind you these are fresh disks, never formatted by my Emax of course)

Any other suggestions please?

it means that your emax is formating wrong or has mis alligned heads

i had this with another customer who brought a keyboard from me with a new slim floppy

and he had another emax with an old floppy the new floppy could not read the os or sample disks

and the old floppy in his other machine could not read the new floppy disks from the new floppy on the other machine

also are you using dsdd or hddd floppy disks

Error code 89!

'The capacity of the disk in drive A is not supported by Emax samplers!

Oh

Really!?, I just formatted the disk on my Emax!

Hi

I am not sure my problem is with the FD disks I am using or with WinXP or simply a bad FDD issue (really, tried four different floppy disk drives) or an EMXP motherboard incompatibility but

It just ain't working..not with Floppy disks, my internal ZIP disk, or Flash cards either.

In using FD's marked HD on the upper right of the disk I get all kinds of errors.

DSDD disks just don't work either. EMXP can9;t see em, even if they were previously formatted in my Emax I HD running SE rev1.1

I also installed and tried 4 different floppies drives on two different winXP machines and keep getting errors in EMXP even though the Emax HD I own formats them just fine as does OmniFlop (with Omniflop drivers installed, of course).

For example I will format the floppy disk in OmniFlop and install an OS from the usergroup on the disk.

All goes well.

I then open EMXP

Click

1) Manage Emax images

7) Manage Emax floppy disks

Enter the drive letter as 'A'

3) Manage OS on floppy disk

(Since OmniFlop just formatted the disk with the 'plus OS' and it tested out fine-tries this with an Emax formatted disk too)

EMXP Says 'enter a DSDD disk'

I do

It. Whirs and reads the disk

EMXP then Says "the disk in drive A does not contain a valid EMAX Operating System.

Press any key to continue or escape to abort these warnings...."

I hit 'enter'

EMXP says

'Error Code 206! No OS found!
