Emax

I just got my Emax HD SE Keyboard...LOVE IT!
...but i keep getting a "BANK ERROR" whenever I try to load or save anything.

Q: how do i tell the Emax to load/save from a floppy as opposed to the HD? (which i assume is wrecked)

Q: how can I test if the HD is still functioning?

Also...I'm told the Emax does not like HD floppies...is this true?

Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Bank error could be corrupt bank or corrupt HD catalog.

You could:
boot from floppy
format HD and see if it completes.
if it fails, the HD may be failing.
Simply inserting a floppy with OS and turning on the machine should boot
from the floppy.

Emax uses DSDD floppy.
best to use DSDD, but if you don't have any- then cover the hole (not the
write protect hole, the other one) and it will trick the floppy drive to
believe it is DSDD.

If you don't have a boot floppy, then make one before formatting the HD...
