Emax

Ok I dont have any EMAX II OS floppy disks. I have a bunch of Emax I 
disks so that could be a problem first of all.

I tried the format with EMX program with 2DD and 2HD disks but wont 
format.

If there is anyone who could send floppies EMX II formatted or any 
further information I would compensate financially for any costs 
incurred. 


If to get at the LCD is not an easy task I assume so any help there 
would be appreciated.

One final Comment is that you guys are awesome and I hope to able 
help some new people as much as you have already helped me. I feel 
my sanity slowly coming back to me.

Thank You

Fergal
