Seeing all of these listserve posts on this floppy
disk OS issue: Windrum, have you considered paying the $5.95 plus $3.00
domestic shipping to just order an Emax Plus 1.0 operating disc from Route
66? It seems that that would be simpler, less time consuming and certainly
less frustrating.
No I have no connection to the above vendor
whatsoever.
Please don't take this as any criticism of trying
to go the PC route on this. Just trying to think of another option to
solve the problem. Ted as usual is so gracious in sharing his knowledge,
and patient in assisting you and the listserve with the problem.
Best wishes,
Mike

1) You cannot use any IDE interface drives directly with Emax.2) I downloaded and double click the dos exe and it said "please insert floppy" here at work. You are making this step / item too difficult by "over-analyzing" the process.

You would have to put it in the group files, or in your mail provide a link to the picture.esynthesist is a member on the group and is the developer of EMXP and you can contact him directly through his website also…With that said- I have never tried formatting a floppy with EMXP.Usually I format a floppy on the EMAX, then use EMXUTIL or EMX (or EMXP) to write the OS file to the already formatted disk.Have you tried that?-TOn Oct 20, 2013, at 7:52 PM, Windrum Scoggin wrote:[Non-text portions of this message have been removed]built an XP system from the ground up with two FDD drives.
