Emax

I was doing a little testing.

I couldn't get EMXP to work using Virtual Box.
it would run, and appeared to read an SD CARD ok.

But - Writing an image to a SD card didn't work.
Now, with that said-  I do have a PC and had copied an image from SD using EMXP on the PC.
I copied this file to USB, then to my mac desktop.

Where you have a Hard drive image created by EMXP you can use the unix "dd" command to write it to the flash!!!!!
"dd" is direct to the device and doesn't do formatting, interpretation, or anything- it takes whatever "input" and writes it to whatever output you specify, as a raw stream.

To clarify the process-

I had a 32MB SD card in a SD to USB adapter on my Mac Pro.

1) In disk utility, I highlight the PC formatted flash in the adapter and click the "Info" button.
It reveals the disk is "disk3" in my case (yours could be different as I have 3 other Hard disks, it could be disk1 or disk 2- this WILL vary).
The disk identifier could even be changed by having CD / DVDs in the optical drive….

2) I UNMOUNT the volume (not EJECT) - if you eject you have to remove, reinsert and start over….

3) Open Terminal

4) The file is on my desktop, so I go there:
cd Desktop

5) Now I run a dd command- 

**********WARNING- improper usage of the "dd" command to your existing drives can destroy the data / bootability of your drives.
Use the command with caution, and clearly understand what the parameters are and their effect !!!!!  ******** 

If you aren't sure- DON'T DO IT!
I am not responsible if you improperly use the command and make your Mac no longer boot!!!

(where my EMXP EMAX HD image is named "EMAX1-1.EZ1")

dd if=EMAX1-1.EZ1 of=/dev/disk3

It took 90 seconds to complete.
It writes the file as a stream until the write is complete….

To clarify-
if   = INPUT FILE
of = OUTPUT FILE / DEVICE

For any Unix gurus out there- specifying block size did not speed up the operation, as I did test that parameter in conjunction with "count"

Took the flash to my Emax and it booted from it fine and loaded the bank.

Anyways- just thought I would share what I had found out….

Regards,
Ted

When using dd on a Mac, /dev/rdisk* will give you lower-level access and a lot faster transfers.

Yes-

Wasn't sure how Mac OS X did the raw disk and didn't look before.

dd if=EMAX1-1.EZ1 of=/dev/rdisk3

completed in 17 secs.
So quite signicant change in time….

I tried with codeweaver crossover, it doesn't launch.
Anybody tried with parallels or VMware fusion?

Yes, I've tried both. They both work for me. I find parallels works best,
especially with the emuser.

I don't recall seeing anything on this great listserve from any of my fellow purchasers of the recent Emax I OLED display, so I'll go ahead and give a most public and conspicuous Thank You to Mr. Ted Summers.  What a labor of love to source and build this; what a tribute to these great instruments, to keep them alive and played.  

Even after all these years, after recording a track a couple of weeks ago with the Emax I, and hearing its distinctive digital/analog filter "voice" in the mix, the magic is still there.  I don't know if Scott Wedge, Dave Rossum or the other gifted creators of the Emax even think about their creation much (perhaps from time to time), but we have Mr. Summers to thank for his good works in the here and now.

Thanks Ted.

Best wishes,

Michael Padilla

So you are saying you were able to successfully write media (floppy and HD images)?

Sorry for the delay.

Yes, I can write floppy/HD images to solid state media, Zip disk or via
emuser (although the emuser only works with my emax's so far.  It is not
working at all with my EII).   Obviously I cannot write to floppies so, I
keep a windows PC around just in case.
I mainly use parallels with a windows XP image.  I built the image that I
use by doing a physical to virtual conversion of the PC that I know works
with emxp, omniflop, etc... over the network.  Not that you have to do it
that way but, if you have a windows machine that you know works, it's
pretty simple to clone it as a backup/virtual machine in parallels.  Then
just let the virtual machine take charge of the emuser or USB card
reader/writer or USB Zip drive and go!

  Esynthesist can verify that I have been using it this way for some time
as he's given me much support over the years.

OK- but a Floppy doesn't work through EMXP on MacOSX , am I understanding that correctly?

Well, I have no Mac with a built in floppy drive.  I am using a Mac mini
for everything so USB and FireWire are my only options.  Perhaps an older
g4 with a built in floppy and OS 10.5 running parallels might work but, I
am not certain.  I think that might be the only combination where there
could even be a possibility of the floppy working since g5's and Mac pros
have no floppy slot and g3's can only run up to 10.3 i believe but, even
that seems fairly unlikely seeing how temperamental floppy drives can be.
 I really just use the PC to rip floppies, flash pcd-50b's and run the
occasional program that needs a parallel port (i.e. a s950 sample dump
software).  Most of what I need can be done in OS X or parallels.
