Re: [emax] OS reformat to disk ( SE PLUS 1.0 to ? )

2014-02-03 by wandamusic@...

HI, All,
 
I joined but have not participated, as I have not played my emax for many  
years, but thinking of pulling it out again.
 
I am not familiar with softworx, but I do recall that when I made "song  
disks" where I'd have the os plus a supermodemap on a disk, I woiudl choose 
the  disks I wanted to take sounds from,and one by one, I'd load the sounds 
into the  song disk.
 
I do not recall the way I did this but I'd start with a nearly empty  
supermode map/os disk, then switch floppies, to one with a soundbank I wanted,  
and using one of the commands, load a sound bank into the memory.
 
After loading all the banks I wanted (I'd then save everything in the  
memory to the floppy. (I did not have any HD, just the emax se)
 
I am wondering if that method might allow you to hear sounds that are on a  
disk with a differnent os?
 
Wanda

Hi , 
I have an Emax SE , it has the SCSI which I use with a zip drive , the Emax 
 is using OS 1.0 , works fine. I have some original SoftWorx disks that I 
would  like to hear on my Emax. 
The problem is that I can not format them to run on my Emax. In the  
'Master' section, there is no way to copy the OS on to a floppy that doesn't  have 
the same OS. If there is a way, then I don't know how. When I try to play  
the SoftWorx disk, display says 'different revision' .  
How do I format the SoftWorx disk to the 1.0 OS ?  
Thanks for the help.
