Emax

Hi

Im having some trouble with some of the .EM1 files from box.com.

When copying some of the banks to a floppy and load the floppy I get incomplete, stuttering sounds and wierd fonts in the display of the EMAX. When trying to convert the banks to .wav in EMXP some sounds also are corrupt or very small files or I get the message "Fatal Error! Error code 8" in EMXP.

These errors have occured on some of the factory sound disks (mostly on the disks with number above ZD770) and the first 3-4 banks of "Dana F Sound Disks".

I have the latest EMXP and I get the same problem on different computers. All banks have been compressed and downloaded as a package from the box.com (maybe compressing/uncompressing does something wierd?

Anyone else experiencing this?

Ok thanks. Just wanted to confirm that some of the em1 files on box.com in fact can be damaged. The images Ted uploaded seems to be working so far (just tried wav conversion and not in my Emax yet).

Has anyone purchased an emax drive from ebay from a seller(BakerySauce) and gotten the drive to work in their EMAX, and if so HOW?
Thanks

     The 5 EZ1 Factory Images I uploaded were directly from Emax I labeled Factory Zip Disks...
That is the provenance of my images.

     I don't know the exact contents of the box.com, but many copies of factory .EM1 files on the internet are corrupt. This is especially true for following bank numbers:

I assume that the .EZ1 file that Ted is referring to is not based on these corrupt versions.
If so this EZ1 file will most probably solve your problem.

This is the current cable attachment on my emax se. So it appears closer to the power supply and keys side of the keyboard. Still no good results, and no matter the cable placement the LED stays lit and once the drive has a disk inserted the drive just spins.
