The OS is read from the disk each time.

There is a 'copy os' or software disk funtion menu on the emax. Copy the is to each disk or bank or what it is called on BcC.


So a disk with the OS has

Yes, then that would confirm the Emax is SE.

>> I see "different software rev" How to solve this?
The SE features are part of the OS.
But any bank on a disk (or HxC image) without the SE OS on that disk won't work for SE functions.
If you are trying to use SE feature with 3.2 OS it won't work.
So- if you have created all the HxC images with 3.2 OS, they would have to be rebuilt or updated with SE1.1 OS.
This is why you see "different software rev".... the bank (virtual disk) you have loaded has a different OS than the one you booted from....this is not allowed.

To explain further- Emax doesn't have available memory to load in all OS possible operations.
Therefore, for each activity (Digital process, analog process, etc) it loads in from the OS on the disk the function for that moment which is needed.
But when you switch from one disk (or HxC location) to another with DIFFERENT OS, it sees mismatch of OS and you get the error.

This was always a major thing- to reload the OS onto all the floppies with the new OS version, which is time consuming.
Here- SCSI beats HxC easily. On SCSI media there is only 1 OS which works for all 35 banks. You only put the OS on 1 time for each hard disk...


Hopefully, I have clearly explained above so you may understand why you have been having the issue.

So... don“t you need to follow SE Upgrade pdf? I remember in this pdf you see in the emax display the device is being upgraded.. and my idea was Emu would be upgraded and the new features will be extended to all banks but i think it is not correct this idea..


So.. following your steps when I boot the Emu with the 1.1 in the menu I see 1.1 and this is correct, but when I load other bank and I try to access digital features of the SE upgrade, in the display I see "different software rev" How to solve this? If I am seeing "Emax SE 1.1 " my emax is upgraded at least??

Thank you!
