Emax

There is a free download at the Chicken Systems website that will make a Windows 98 (DOS) boot disk with several disk writers for E-MU, Roland etc. Just put a blank floppy in the drive and run the program and then boot from that floppy and in the case of the Emax run the EMX app. Here is the link:

Thanks! Jeff
