That dies, too.  I believe it's the same ol' BCC ERROR.

Hmmm ...  I suppose one could whip up a generic sample program, flexible
enough to act like an Emax, then release the file/diskette conversion
utility as freeware, along with an Emax "skin" ....


BUT if they wish to be left behind, so be it.   "CruzControl" isn't such an
astonishing idea that somebody couldn't write a MIDI utility to do the same
thing.

Another approach would be for an enterprising soul to specialize in
conversions ...  I'd love to move stuff from Emax diskettes to Bitheadz'
DS-1 format ...
