Emax

\Yes lovin it, Im actually tring to get this to work now, 

No Luck Again!??>:(

Now with the omnifloppy driver installed, yes it says james watson in
driver info. Also done the additional registration as suggested by manual/

Tried 3 different types of DD floppies to make sure its not the floppy
that i am using.

Formatted the disk using EMXP, Copied OS and tried to boot from disk.
With all 3 it resulted in Timeout Error! - Disk Error!


Any ideas? My floppy drive is a Teac from Studio66 (recent buy) and
the PC floppy is a sony from amazon, standard drive


I can read all kinds of floppys on the emax, even created on older
devices with original mitsubishi disk drive...



Really keen on Compact Flash, this is upsetting! nice program but cant
make use of it at all


Thx for help
