Re: formatting emax II zip with pc?

2009-03-27 by Phreak boy

Hi there
thank you for your help
the zip drive is fine, i can load samples into another sampler using it. I can format zips with it using the other sampler. Its one of those iomega 100 blue ones which reads 100mb zip files....I have been using new zip disks. i guess if it works on one sampler, it should work on another...no other scsi devicdes are being used
does anyone know a way of formatting an emax II zip on a pc?
