Re: [emax] Emu Emax 1000 Keyboard having troubles setting up my HxC drive

Shawn-

What OS is on the floppy you were booting with prior to installing the HXc? You should use that OS as the starting point.

If it wasn't ever booted (but you had added the HXc in hopes to boot it), then it's a bit more complicated, because we don't know if your Emax has SE, SCSI, etc.


If you don't have SCSI (or don't know), and don't know if it has SE, then you should start with the Emax 3.2 OS as it will work on all models.
The next step would be to determine what (if any) other features you have installed in the unit.
The OS version (if you boot from your existing floppy) may give a clue - unless it's 3.2 as that had no support for the add-ins.
Worst case- you create an floppy / HXc image location of the SE update, and boot from it- if it updates, you didn't have SE, and you now have SE- if it just boots, the unit was already SE.

As to SCSI- you would have to open it up and consult my webpage for further:

Please note that the installed features will determine what OS'es you can successfully boot from.

I have an Emu Emax 1000 Keyboard Version 2 Rev C and im looking for an Emaxos.emx OS file that would be compatible with my version so i can load the OS on my HXc drive



after installing the HxC drive and setting up my SD properly with converted HFE files, it will read the banks but will not load them because i think i have the wrong OS in the CFG boot file in the root folder



any help would be greatly appreciated
