Emax

you create an image in the emxp this image is a .ez1 image you can load os and banks to it

then you change extention ez1 to .iso

you then use a burning program to write the iso to the dos formated zip 100 disk

its all in the manual

  Ah...generate an empty disk image first, then what, drag and drop that image onto the zip disk or use what menu commands....



  I am a little perterbured....it just confused the hell out of me...as if I wasn't already confuse enough

  :)

  So, OK, I cant write an OS to external disc directly within EMXP..Yeah, noticed the N/A to the right of the menu item for that......but if that the case, why put the option up there? It is just another thing that has me doin' the chimpanzze.., being I am a k

  nuckle dragging mechanic for a living , if things are not 'drag and drop' or 'spelled out' in 'idiot speak' enough for me I start to scratch my arpits and pick my arse in confusion...yep, just like the monkey.....



  All jokes aside....what page of the manaul shows me how to create the 'image' you speak of on my DOS formatted zip disk so that I can then put the Plus OS on the zip as well as some sound banks? Something about creating an image first?



    If I can get that far, I will have this licked as long as I can the Plus OS disks I ordered from Ted to boot into the Emax when they arrive.

  Thanks for all of your collective Input.

  Correct, zip disks/flash disks for Emax-I must not be *physically* formatted specifically for Emax when using them in EMXP. DOS formatted disks are OK.
  BUT these disks can only be used for reading/writing banks and OS files after you have done a "logical" formatting of them, which means writing the filesystem to them. This can be done by generating an empty HD/CD image in EMXP and "restoring" it to that disk. Once that's done, you should be able to save banks and OS files to it.
  As jammie already explained
  And as explained in the EMXP manual.

  Unless your problem is rather that EMXP won't recognize the DRIVE (as opposed to the DISK in that drive). I.e. the drive letter is not accepted by EMXP.
  Please clarify the problem (error code...)

  Regarding your floppy disk problems: I have sent you an email today (I wasn't online the past few days due to my job)

  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 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.

        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
