Emax

Hello,
   I'm sure this has been ask multiple times in the past, but is there
someone here that can sell me a copy of the Emax II os on disk?  I've
tried several ways to put it on floppy myself but it hasn't worked.

First I tried to use CopyQM, but I can't boot into real DOS and have
access to the OS image at the same time so when I ran it at a command
window it would not work.  I also don't know anyone anymore that uses
Windows ME or below so aside from using a boot disk I'm not sure how
to approach this method.

Second, I tried doing a dd if=img of=/dev/floppy with the image found
in the files section and that also didn't work.  

So if anyone has any suggestions I would be glad to hear them, but I
believe at this point it would be easier to just purchase a disk from
someone, preferably in America so it would arrive faster.  I could pay
with Paypal or whatever.

Thanks.

Try writing the image to /dev/fd0u800 rather.

Sounds as if you run Linux. So you could use the following script:
http://svn.poeml.de/viewcvs/emx/trunk/tools/os.sh?view=markup&rev=41
with the file emaxos.emx from the images subdirectory:
http://svn.poeml.de/viewcvs/*checkout*/emx/trunk/images/emaxos.emx? 
rev=36

There is also a script to write banks to floppy.
