Emax

If when you formatted the zip you copied the plus OS to it, then yes-  
but keep in mind unless you have a Zip that can be set to ID0, the  
Emax won't boot from it.

Hello,
I bought a used Emax recently. Every now and then I get a "Disk Not  
Formatted!" error when it's trying to load the software, and when it  
decides to move beyond the error, then the floppy seems to work fine.  
Now it seems to be in a state where I can't move beyond the error and  
I can't load the OS. I did successfully install an external SCSI jack  
and I was able to format a Zip disk a few days ago. Is there OS Plus  
1.0 on the Zip disk? And if so can I get it to boot from the Zip disk?  
I've tried to insert the floppy again and again, I've repeatedly  
rebooted the Emax, all I get is a crunching sound in the floppy drive  
and the error message like it's trying its best to read the floppy but  
just can't pull it off. Is it time replace the floppy drive, I'm sure  
it's the original drive.
Thanks!
Robert
