Hello. i have a issue with my emu emax 1 rack. I have a floppy with os 3.2 on it. the emax loads the os, and lets me save banks and samples too but it wont format my disk or copy OS. my akai s900 is formatting same floppys without any problems, the emax wont even format an empty(s900 formatted) disk. i bough it broken a month ago and finally fixed it. screen could be brighter.. yeah, but soundwise the machine is working great. now the last problem is the floppy disc drive. what could it be?
thanks.

Try to Replace the floppy drive and then observe the behavior. -RVK

I cant find it, must be gone now.
i been reading about those slim floppys for a while now, would this drive work?i saw you posting this one: TEAC FD-05HG P/N 19307587-87 Dell PowerEdge 1850the difference on those is the last numbers -87 ( -98 )and they have mounting cases that would fit better in my emax, not leaving a big hole

as i understand, every older floppy drive with jumpers set do id 0 should work right?

Hi im currently getting a scsi installation in my emax, if it works out and i can use it floppyless, i would sell you a drive if you want it.
Its a original emax drive and works flawlessly.
Where are you located ?Thanks
