Try using EMXP / omniflop to write a disk (you need a PC for this).

The 2 discs are floppies which came with the Emax, I quoted the labels on them (which say cd), but they are not compact discs.


I will try disconnecting the hd drive.

How do I write a new disc?

have you disconnected the hd drive inside also

the emax wont boot from cd you need a scsi hd which is set to scsi id0 for it to boot from scsi

other wise if you have a device other than that you will need to boot by floppy first to the + version so you can change scsi id

Thanks Jamie.


I have 2 discs, "Emax HD 1.1 CD Operating Software" and "Emax Software Master Revision 1.1 HD", which I have tried, both come up with either
"Disc Error" or "Disc not formatted".

Hello

I'm new to this group so apologies if this is a well worn topic.

My Emax HD SE keyboard powers up but does not get beyond "Loading Software".

Is this a known issue, if so is there a fix?

Regards

Ken
