RE: [emax] Re: Problems with IDE to CF adapter and Emax I

I'd at least view it in emxp and see what it looks like after the emax has formatted it.  It might be enough to drag the banks to the emax formatted cf from the image on the PC.

Seems to me like the cf is working and the interface and the emax seems to have formatted it so I'd say those three parts are okay and you are 90% there.

So I'd be tempted to reload the CFcard but without reformatting it or adding or overwriting an os to see what happens.

Thanks for the suggestion Lorne.





So you are suggesting I take the CF card out of Emax, put it back into the PC and look at it in EMXP. And then use EMXP to tell me if the banks on the CF are of a different OS than the OS on the card, is that correct?

 

I didn't think the individual banks stored/referenced the OS directly, but I could be wrong. I thought only a floppy and the HD stored an OS separately from the sound bank data.  Some of the banks were copied from SE 1.1 floppies, so who knows. I'd hate to think I need to copy Plus OS software to every single floppy I own before I can copy a bank from it to a Plus OS hd.

 

Thanks,

Jim
