Emax

Hi ,

I have an Emax SE , it has the SCSI which I use with a zip drive , the Emax is using OS 1.0 , works fine. I have some original SoftWorx disks that I would like to hear on my Emax.

The problem is that I can not format them to run on my Emax. In the 'Master' section, there is no way to copy the OS on to a floppy that doesn't have the same OS. If there is a way, then I don't know how. When I try to play the SoftWorx disk, display says 'different revision' .

How do I format the SoftWorx disk to the 1.0 OS ?

Thanks for the help.

There's two ways you can do this but it takes some time and you'll have to learn EMXP
Either create an OS disc in EMXP with the same OS as your softworx discs then update your  EMax to the OS required of the softworx discs and then load the discs
 or 
transfer the softworx disks sound files to your PC then use EMXP to transfer those files to a floppy 
You formatted on your EMax.
You can then load them in

emxp load floppy into pc then get bank it will read contents of floppy into memory save image as an emx floppy image

then put a fresh 3.5 720k disk in format it and add the new os to the disk

then put the emx bank onto the disk 

if you have scsi you can create a zip100 image and do 35 banks on it and you can add it that way and then burn a zip100 disk

but for that you would require a ide or scsi zip in the pc

  Hi ,



  I have an Emax SE , it has the SCSI which I use with a zip drive , the Emax is using OS 1.0 , works fine. I have some original SoftWorx disks that I would like to hear on my Emax.

  The problem is that I can not format them to run on my Emax. In the 'Master' section, there is no way to copy the OS on to a floppy that doesn't have the same OS. If there is a way, then I don't know how. When I try to play the SoftWorx disk, display says 'different revision' . 

  How do I format the SoftWorx disk to the 1.0 OS ? 



  Thanks for the help.

HI, All,
 
I joined but have not participated, as I have not played my emax for many  
years, but thinking of pulling it out again.
 
I am not familiar with softworx, but I do recall that when I made "song  
disks" where I'd have the os plus a supermodemap on a disk, I woiudl choose 
the  disks I wanted to take sounds from,and one by one, I'd load the sounds 
into the  song disk.
 
I do not recall the way I did this but I'd start with a nearly empty  
supermode map/os disk, then switch floppies, to one with a soundbank I wanted,  
and using one of the commands, load a sound bank into the memory.
 
After loading all the banks I wanted (I'd then save everything in the  
memory to the floppy. (I did not have any HD, just the emax se)
 
I am wondering if that method might allow you to hear sounds that are on a  
disk with a differnent os?
