Translator Free supports Emax floppies and it is still being fully 
supported. I just put this feature (ability to mass-backup lots of 
floppies) in Translator Free and that build should be available mid-week.

Translator Free is a Windows program compatible with Vista, XP, and 
anything down to Win98. It can convert Emax Banks into anything else, 
and we are working on converting into Emax as well. (It would help if 
we knew how many people would actually use this. Please email us at 
support@... if you are interested.)
