Emax

hi 

 i have tried to use the emx utility in dos mode using an older win98 
running pc...and it seems not  to work either for the em1 or em2 
files...more specifically i do all the steps as explained and emx seems 
to respond whith the transfer of the files but when i get to the emax 2 
i get a "bad disk" error...any help whould be great...tried numerous 
emaz disk just in case they dont work anymore but i get the same 
message either for em1 or em2 extension files...also copied the emaxos 
for emax 2 in the c:\emx directory but nothing...do i need to just 
extract the zip file conaitning the os or to process it through emx in 
a way - spotted there is a "read os disk" option...hope you can drop me 
a line since got all the disks from the site but cant make them to work 
for the emax 2...

   cheers

Are you sure you are running your PC in NATIVE DOS ? E.g. by starting 
the PC with an MS DOS startup disk ?
EMX does not work in a DOS terminal started from Windows 98.

Did you format the disks on your EMAX 2 first ? DOS-formatted disks 
don't work with EMAX 2, and EMX formatted disks could cause problems 
(some incompatibilities have been reported, mainly for EMAX-1 though)
