Emax

Hi there, I recently bought an Emax 1 HD Se. I installed the omniflop disk driver 2.01p, formatted an old new floppy. Then when I try to copy an emx image to the floppy, the drive makes some noises and then a windows error dialog appears saying Unknown disk format blah blah blah ( Cancel, Try Again, Continue). The Emxp returns Errocode 89.

I formatted the disk using Emax 800kb format and Emax 1024 byte 800kb format. Am I doing something wrong????

Same error occurs trying to format the disk with emxp.

Hi

Just to make sure the problem is clear:
- I assume that you are using an internal PC floppy drive ? (external ones don't work)
- I assume that you are using DSDD disks, not HD ones ? If you are using HD ones, make sure you tape the second "hole"...
- When do you get the 89 error in EMXP: while formatting or while writing EMX images ?
- Does the PC software (OmniFlop, EMXP) work with disks formatted by your Emax ?
- Copying EMX images to an Emax formatted disk can only be done with EMX or EMXP. Copying these files with a common Windows tool like Windows Explorer will not work --> you will get a "unformatted/unknown disk". Installing OmniFlop driver does not mean that any Windows application can start using these Emax disks...
