Emax

yes i see you can confirm that the emx via dos works and reads the disk

this leads me to the floppy drive in the pc that is the problem as said before

when i was refering to the mis aligned heads i was talking about the floppy drive in your pc not the emax drive

as it seems to be the same problem what ever os you use

  Yes, Jammie I can do that ...give me a few...
  I know that step by step, OmniFlop shows me
  258 different options my drive is compatible with
  when I do the 'test routine' ...
  I am a little fuzzy on the exact things it tells me but tell ya what,
  I will do a series of screen shots and upload them in a few minutes here
  so you can see what I am talking about.....
  I will put the screen shots in the 'files' section of our server in a zip file
  called 'Omniflop screen shots Greg'
  to show you what I get on my system.
  Thanks

  P.S-Not to repeat myself but when I format a floppy using the EMAX I, and test it using EMX on a Windows95 computer, all is good, EMX reads it fine and can copy the OS off of it and all 40 some odd sectors test fine on the disk. 
  When I take same Emax I formatted floppy and put it into my PC running XP/XP64 or Vista32 and EMXP, EMXP says it is a NOT a format the Emax I uses and cannot read the disk....Error 89!

  it wont see a fat32 cf card and cant format it its not available in the formating in emxp

  so its an issue with some drivers

  my first question when you use omniflop direct to format a floppy disk not using emxp

  when you choose a format can you show me the list you have please

  this will let us know that the driver has been installed correctly

  ill do a video showing how many formats there should be

      Subject: [emax] EMXP Sucess Specs Anyone? What system you running with EMXP?


        
      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
