Se upgrade failure 2

2004-05-28 by franceslengel

Hello there,
After another 4 hours of problem solving I still haven't cracked it!

How hard can this be! I am starting to think now that I would rather 
pay a list user that has cracked it to make me a emax disk than waste 
anymore time but just incase I am doing something really dumb and 
obvious - or if this is of any help to others:

here is 2 methods I tried - both failed:
1st attempt *Disk method.
1. formatted disks on emax, put emaxutil + setup.em1 on Dos formatted 
disks.
2. took to Win 3.1 PC. and quit win to DOS.
3. loaded emaxutil disk and read setup.em1
4. then tried to write to emax format disk 
Result: Emaxutils could not write image to disk - file not read.
 
2nd attempt. HD method.
1. as instructions said, transferred both emaxutil + seup to C: drive
2. exited win 3.1 to dos and loaded emaxutils.
3. write seup.em1 to disk - goes through process this time! writing 
to 90 (or something) with head counter fluctuating between 0 + 1.  No 
error messages, when done flips back to emaxutils title screen.
Result: after burning 3 versions of Seup.em1 and blissdsk just to 
check, all disks resulted in same failure when put into emax 
(coughed, spluttered and flashed lights:loading software but nothing 
happens??)

Any HELP? Or can someone in the UK just send me a disk PLEASE!
(can pay for it - am losing patience quickly for DIY method)

Thanks a lot,
Luke

Aren't there some emax's that you can't upgrade?

Hi,
If anyone on the list would like an Emax SE upgrade diskette that absolutely
works for sure, please contact me at info@...

Emax HD users, will also need an SE HD OS disktte which I will include. So
let me know if you have a HD model.

Yes I do make a nominal charge, but then I do have to buy diskettes and mail
them out via air mail (unless you are in the UK, then its even cheaper!).
However the upgrade works first time, so you don't waste time playing with
EMX or writing emails.

All Emax's can be upgraded to SE, except those that have a faulty diskette
drive...Check you can read samples before upgrading..

Regards
Rob
