Emax

Do you have a manual for the EMAXII?  If not you can download an Adobe
Acrobat pdf file of it here:
http://www.emulatorarchive.com/Manuals/ManualsEmax/manualsemax.html

Go to Preset Management 8, SAVE ALL 16 BIT.  Select what drive you want to
use, floppy or a scsi disk, and go for it.  If it is a large bank you are
trying to save to floppy, you will probably need more than 1 EMAXII
formatted floppy.  Unfortunately I think you will loose all internal data
when you format one.

Hope this helps
Sorry I can't give the step by step of it.

Hello,

saving 16bit Data to floppy is not recommended. Buy a removable media 
drive. Want to save only your 5 sounds ? Fatally Emax can only save 
BANK as a whole, no Preset or single sample. Workaround is to get rid 
of all the other sounds you Don´t want to have, then save your Preset
as a Bank to the medium. To avoid this always start from scratch when 
you start sampling.Then later you can at least LOAD a single 
Preset into whatever bank you want. This way you can later build new 
banks containing Presets of (for example)similar sounds,i.e. Drums. 
About Format: When you save to floppy, you better have some already 
formatted floppies, because FORMATTING A FLOPPY WILL ERASE ALL YOUR 
DATA !!!! If you forget this, all your work /new samples will be 
gone. Sad but true. Hope this helps. Regs RR

The Emax II does not allow for just saving samples. You have to do a save all (master 8 
as described previously) which will save all the samples and any other preset or bank 
data. It's not how many samples you have it's how large they are that causing the need 
for 7 disks. You are only saving, 720k per disk.
