Thats a good question.. but the answer is NO
Page 6 of the EMXP 2.11 pdf manual states the test conditions in which Esynthesist got EMXP to run
Go down to the ZIP drives used during the 'test configurations' used and he states
-Iomega 250M ZIP drive SCSI (connected to Emax Sampler)
-Iomega 100 M ZIP drive SCSI (connected to Emax Sampler)
-Iomega 250M ZIP drive USB (connected to PC)
-Iomega 100 M ZIP drive SCSI (connected to Emax Sampler)
-Iomega 250M ZIP drive USB (connected to PC)
-Iomega 250M ZIP drive PARALLEL (connected to PC)
HE GOES on further to state that the ZIP disks DO NOT have to be preformatted using the EMAX I before they can be used by EMXP
See "Creating Removeable Hard Disks/Zip Disks/Memory Cards of same manual, Page
71
for further clarification on this.

Subject: [emax] EMXP Sucess Specs Anyone? What system you running with EMXP?[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
Well, tried Windows XP 64 bit with 64 bit omniflop drivers...NO GO
Windows XP 32 bit with 32 bit omniflop drivers..NO GO
Windows Vista 32 this morning, with 32 bit omniflop drivers..NO GO
Error 89! etc etc...
EMXP won't work in any of the above OS configurations on my
system:
ASUS P5E MOBO with TEAC FDD running 4 gig Patriot DDR2 800Mhz RAM and Intel Core2Quad 2.4 ghz CPU.
When I say won't work I mean it wont see my internal IDE ZIP drive, a FAT32 formatted CF card or a Floppy disk formatted in my EMAX I OS SE rev 1.1 as usable media and gives me errors to the effect that the media is NOT EMAX usable etc etc..
When I test disks I formatted on my Emax I with a computer here at work (Commodore Desktop running Windows 95-yes ancient) using EMX through DOS, the Emax I formaated disks test fine. This tells me it isn't a matter of a bad floppy DD alignment in my EMAX I (The FDD is not the ONLY thing it will not see, anyway) for if that were the case (No offense to Jammie's theory, it's a good one nonetheless!) the Emax I formatted disks would not check out fine, nor be able to be read by the Win95 system here at work. IE: EMX would see the disks as bad, too.
So, I deduce this down to some kind of hardware/driver/EMXP compatibility issue with my system and now ask any of YOU who are running know GOOD EMXP systems to please share what your FDD/MOBO configurations are so I can build a system that will successfuly run EMXP and finally get some sounds into my EMAX I
Your patience and great kindness
(ESPECIALLY TED!) with my myriad questions and issues throughout this process has been greatly appreciated.
EMU users are the best
