Emax

Hey Ted,

Emax 1 Question about slim floppy drive and FD media type.
Can you successfully use a 3.5" HD disk with the slim floppy drives?

I know the stock Emax 1 FDD prefers DSDD.

Thanks for your help,
-RVK

I figured I needed to do a run test with the Emax I so I wrote the Emax I OS into a disk and then put an image of the Alan Wilder samples and when inserting the disk into the Emax I keyboard it didn't say Disk Error! rather it gave me an Data CRC Error message, what the hell is this and what does it mean?

My Emax II didn't read it and it went directly to the hard drive.  Am I doing something wrong?  I apologize for the inconvenience but I turn to you as I know you are a guru on Emax.

I've used the EMXP to write some of the Alan Wilder samples on disks that I bought but when trying to copy or save a backup on other Emax I disks the sampler gave me a disk error again. I'm really struggling on understanding how the EMXP program works.
