EMXP / Emax HD floppy disks problems...

2008-03-15 by Mike

Hi,

I've tried using some HD (not DD) floppy disks to copy some EM1 disk
image files onto (using the latest version of EMXP), which I then load
into my Emax.

However, all but one (out of 20 disks) gives a "Data CRC Error!" just
at the end of the loading process. I've covered the extra hole in the
top/side of the disk and EMXP seems to write the disk images without
any errors, but my Emax doesn't seem to like them. It loads DD disks
no problems.

Do I need to do something special with HD floppies (format them
first?) before writing the disk images?

Cheers,

Mike.
