Emax

Craig, Marcello,

Can you give more details, I'm not sure I understand the problem.
Is the following true:
- disks formatted on EMAX:
   * banks written to this disk with EMXP
     --> disk can be read by EMAX, everything works fine
   * banks written to this disk with EMAX and then read to PC with 
EMXP
     --> disk can be read by EMXP, everything works fine
- disks formatted with EMXP:
   * banks written to this disk with EMXP
     --> disk not usable on EMAX
   * OS written to this disk with EMXP
     --> disk not usabel on EMAX
   * banks written to this disk with EMAX
     --> not possible
Am I correct ?
So basically the format function of EMXP does not work for EMAX SE 
machines ?
Is there a difference depending on the OS version you're using on the 
EMAX ?

Have you tried the same thing with the original EMX program (on a DOS 
booted PC) ? Do you have the same problem ? That's important for me 
in order to be able to debug the software. If EMX works and EMXP 
doesn't, I can compare the code and perhaps make some changes to both 
EMXP and the Emax Floppy Driver.

No need to tell you that everything works fine on my EMAX II 
machines :-). I don't have an EMAX-I machine though so I can't test 
my software on that type of machine. I want one but they're hard to 
find or too expensive here in Belgium...

Regards
///E-Synthesist.
