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

fit a slim floppy they are new
getting a floppy that will fit the hole is really hard and they cost just as much as a floppy emulator does
so a floppy emulator or a slim floppy pcd-60b combo might be a better option as seeing you have a emax hd
have you upgraded to the se yet as you need todo that before your machine will see a plus os disk
and you need omniflop for creating that as its a img from esynthesis

Right
I truly believe my Emax FDD is original and
being so old
It needs calibration and head alignment
and or just over all replacement
do you know of anyone or a professional
shop that can do this?
Thank Youl

Indeed; the fancy GUI version will require a huge license fee :-)

I understand that having step-by-step guides would be very nice but there are so many different things that users can achieve with EMXP that it's simply impossible to write step-by-step guides for all of these scenarios. Remember: EMXP supports multiple samplers, multiple disk/file types per sampler, and multiple types of activities (reading, writing, formatting, copying, deleting, converting, ...)

That being said... the problem regarding creating Emax ZIP disks and how to efficiently copy banks to them is imho actually pretty well explained in the manual (including step-by-step text boxes) in chapter 6.1 on page 107-109.


Good to hear that you succeeded in creating the Emax ZIP disk.


Regarding the floppy drive issue: it could be the head alignment/calibration of the Emax drive itself which is deviating too much from the standard norm (as opposed to the floppy drives of your PCs)

SO

Yeah.... I get it...this is a VERY LITERAL PROGRAM.


Its all in the manual...but not that easy to read...

there just needs to be a simple step by step guide on what you

need to make a zip disk, so in next post I am posting an easy, step by step guid on how to create a zip disk.

Thanks for making this freeware Program...we'd all be screwed without it way worse than if we didn't have it

:)
