Yes, using DSDD disks.

Tried 2 different internal drives. Omniflop drivers installed. I'm using OMNIFLOP64

Head scratching....

As I’ve stated, I’ve been using this image for quite some time.

1) are you using a DSDD disk?

2) The floppy you are using in the PC isn’t USB is it? USB floppy drives don’t work.

3) The fact that OMNIFLOP doesn’t detect an actual Emax formatted floppy is a telltale sign…
So it is likely something with your PC setup.
Did you properly install the omniflop driver? The symptom you are seeing I’ve seen when the driver wasn’t properly loaded.

Cheers. Just tried it but it keeps saying not enough space on the floppy.


Formatted the floppy in the emax first, then try OMNIFLOP - can't get OMNIFLOP to detect it as a standard EMAX 800KB format.

Format a disk in EXMP with the blank OS option - this is the only way OMNIFLOP will give me the STANDARD EMAX 800kb format option to write to. But then this new image seems to not fit.

Confused still.
