Emax

Hi all EMAX II users! =)

I tried to write an EMAX disk with the emx program. The problem occurs
just when the samples are about to be written. Then it says "address
mark not found!". I have no idea how to fix this so please help =).

Are you running EMX on a DOS-booted PC (so not in a DOS window under 
Windows) ?

I'm running it in windows XP. Is it necessary to run it in dos? In
that case, would the dosemulator DosBox be enough?

The only reliable way of using EMX is on a PC that has booted in MS-
DOS. Emulations won't help as far as I know. EMX directly 
communicates with the BIOS, which is not allowed anymore in Windows 
XP. Win XP does not give an error if a program tries to do that, but 
it will only "emulate" the functions behind those BIOS calls. This 
emulation is limited. That's why it returns this addressing error. 
Sometimes it even doesn't give any error at all but the result will 
still be wrong. 

So you really should boot your PC in MS-DOS (you can make a bootable 
floppy to do that).

Or you can try EMXP for Win XP (not that I want to push that :-)
