Emax OS 2.14 in a Mac compatible format

2016-03-10 by fm_xtk@...

Hello,

I am new to the group and new to the EMAX. I have been given an EMAX II without anything else, no system disk, no sound disks, etc.

Being a Mac user I have downloaded the file "macemaxos.zip" in the Files Section which is the Emax OS 2.14 in a Mac compatible format, apparently.

Alas, I can't get it to work. The instructions are a bit vague saying it is a "stuffed DART disk image". I have an old Mac downloaded DART and it is working great with another image file. However, the OS image file in the archive is called "emax.os" and my Mac won't recognise it as neither a stuffed archive nor a DART image.

I remember vaguley playing around with Resedit, etc. back in the day to change file types and creators but in order to do that I'd have to know what time of file emax.os actually is.

I realise that nobody might know the answer to this as the file is from 1996. However, I appreciate any help and am very keen to start my EMAX journey soon!

Cheers

Max

Move to quarantaine

This moves the raw source file on disk only. The archive index is not changed automatically, so you still need to run a manual refresh afterward.
