Re: EMX file to floppy using EMXP and OmniFlop

2008-01-31 by csmealer

OK, thanks for the answer and sorry to upset you.  I just joined this 
group (yesterday) and have never used a Yahoo group before, so I'm 
still figuring out how to make my searches effective on here.  I 
didn't read the installation carefully enough in the EMXP manual 
because it looked like what I had just read when installing the 
OmniFlop manual.
Thanks again.  I will try my best to search thouroughly in the future 
so I don't ask questions that have already been answered.
Best,
CS
