Re: [emax] Converting Emax I disks to Emax II disks

2014-12-31 by Ted Summers

If you have booted the Emax 2 from Hard disk, then you can just insert an Emax 1 disk and load the bank and it will work. (i've done this)

If you are booting off floppy, then you have to have a valid Emax 2 OS on the disk....so that would give you software errors as it needs to load OS modules from disk....

If you save the Emax I bank onto PC with EMXP, and have an Emax 2 formatted floppy, then you could write the Emax 1 bank to the Emax 2 OS floppy and it should work.

Hi,

I just bought an Emax II without any disks and I was wondering if I could convert some of my Emax I disks to Emax II. I would guess this not to be a difficult task, yet I couldn't find the command on the Omniflop program and when trying to check the OS on the Emax I disks it said it didn't have a valid OS on them... By the way, tried playing the disks afterwards on the Emax I and it gave me a disk error message.

Thanks for any help you can provide.
