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

Yep

Using EMXP latest version and tried on

Three different operating systems on two different XP machines and still a no go

Using 3.0b OmniFlop driver for FDD

and no install of the FDD OmniFdd driver

(Not necessary per OmniFlop user guide for Emax)

Go figure....

Will zip up all I'm using

And compile into an ISO image and send to your email address via drop box later today along with screen shots of the install process

Thx

this is very strange as your the first real person who has had problems with emxp on this scale

so this is all new to all of us

as you said you have the full omniflop settings in the format options so you have the omniflop drivers installed correctly other wise you only have a few

as you also said you have problems creating zip disk in emxp via an ide drive

are you giving the correct drive letter

it cant format fat 32 cf cards i have always had to do it in the emax

can you create a iso image with your emxp so that i can create a cf card my end from your image file .ez1 so i can test it to see if it works correctly

what version of emxp are you using

Right, the only thing that bothers me is the FDD

in the PC running XP and Omniflop driver will indeed, format and read DOS floppies just fine.

its when I got to use EMXP it has problems.

I think I actually got OmniFlop to format a disk with the Plus OS but when I went to put that disk into the Emax the Emax couldn't recognize it.

Another thing that further confuses the issue is that I wrote the Plus OS within EMX on Win95 just fine yesterday here at work, it checked out in EMX as fine then when I took it home and put it in the EMAX the Emax wouldn't recognize the disk as an Emax Formatted diskette...

confusing really.....

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
